Hydrocolloids - Guar: Market Size & Forecast 2026

The global guar gum market sits at approximately USD 1.4 billion in 2025 (base year), anchored by India-sourced feedstock that supplies roughly 80% of global demand. A 5.2% CAGR through 2032 reflects steady growth across food-grade thickening applications and a recovering oil and gas sector, held back by feedstock price volatility and limited near-term substitution risk. Regional price benchmarks as of Q2 2026 range from USD 2,050/MT in Asia to USD 2,400/MT in the United States, driven by freight, origin concentration risk, and active Section 301 List 3 tariff pressure on Chinese-routed volumes. > Synthesised from secondary and publicly verifiable sources via Claight Category Watch:
