Global Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum (PHGG) market was valued at USD 28.9 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 41.6 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period. PHGG is a water-soluble dietary fiber derived from guar beans, which are native to India and have been consumed for centuries.

Market Overview

PHGG is produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of guar gum, reducing its viscosity while maintaining its beneficial properties. This process makes it suitable for various applications in food, beverages, and supplements. The Asia-Pacific region dominates the market with a 51% share, followed by North America (37%) and Europe (10%).

Key Market Segments

By Type:

• 85% Fiber (81% market share)
• 80%-85% Fiber
• 80% Fiber

By Application:

• Food (45% market share)
• Beverages
• Supplements

Market Drivers

The PHGG market is driven by increasing demand for dietary fiber in functional foods, growing health awareness, and the rising prevalence of digestive health issues. The food industry's shift toward clean-label ingredients and the expansion of functional food markets in developing countries are also contributing to market growth.

Challenges

Market growth may be restrained by competition from other dietary fibers, regulatory challenges in different regions, and the need for consistent quality control in PHGG production. Price volatility of raw materials and the complexity of the hydrolysis process also present challenges for manufacturers.

Competitive Landscape

The market is highly concentrated, with the top three players holding nearly 100% market share. Key players include:

• Taiyo Kagaku
• Beijing Guaran Science and Technology
