Global Guar Gum Powder Market Impelled by Fracturing Application in Shale Gas Extraction

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Guar Gum Powder Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2019-2024”, the global guar gum powder market reached a volume of 825,891 Tons in 2018. Guar gum powder is produced from the ground endosperm of the guar plant. It is generally cultivated in India and Pakistan where it has been traditionally used to thicken curries. Nowadays, it is widely used as a natural emulsifier, stabilizer, bonding agent, hydrocolloid, gelling agent, flocculant and fracturing agent. Owing to these properties, it finds applications in a diverse range of industries including food, textile, pharmaceutical, healthcare, explosives, cosmetic, paper, mining and oil drilling.

Market Trends:                                                                    

Currently, the demand for guar gum powder is increasing owing to its vast applications in the food industry for preparing confectionary products, baked items, beverages and frozen food products. Growing awareness, inflating disposable incomes and the emerging trend of consuming organic foods among consumers are further augmenting the demand for guar gum powder. Apart from this, the powder is also used in the pharmaceutical industry as a disintegrating agent and binder in tablets and capsules. It is also employed in the production of cosmetics and personal care products such as soaps, creams, lotions, shaving gels, liquid soaps, shampoos and conditioners. In addition to this, advancements in shale gas production technology have helped in increasing the output of several oil rigs in the United States. Since guar gum powder is used as a thickening agent in the fracturing process, its demand is expected to rise in the country.
