Xanthan Gum Market Trends and Forecast 2025

Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide, commonly used as a food additive, stabilizer, and thickening agent. Xanthan gum, as a stabilizing agent, prevents the separation of food ingredients and is majorly used in gluten-free bakery products. Xanthan gum is highly soluble in cold as well as hot water, and is capable of absorbing more water in excess to its own weight, thus forming a gel. These solutions are associated with various properties such as pseudoplasticity, high viscosity, and inertness towards a wide range of pH, temperature, and electrolyte variations.
