Water-Soluble Polymer Market Analysis

Type (Natural, Synthetic)

The market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into natural, and synthetic. Out of these, the natural segment is estimated to gain the largest market share of about 57% in the year 2036. Natural water-soluble polymer outperform synthetic water-soluble polymer and provide easy access to ecological accreditation. Its ability to dissolve in both cold and hot water, biodegradable characteristics, and organic nature make it a high-performance, appealing, eco-friendly solution that fits the needs of consumers, regulations, and the community. Natural materials account for more than 90% of the water-soluble polymers utilized in food and beverage industries.  In this end use, gelatin (from animal bones and hides) and casein (from milk) are used massively among all water-soluble polymers. Natural water-soluble polymers perform a wide range of functions in packaged foods, usually at modest levels of usage (less than 1% by weight). 

Material (Guar Gum, Polyvinyl Alcohol, Casein, Gelatin)

The global water-soluble polymer market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by material into guar gum, polyvinyl alcohol, casein, gelatin, and others. Amongst these segments, the guar gum segment is expected to garner a significant share of around 35% in the year 2036. The Guar gum segment is expected to dominate the industry in the next years. Guaran, a water-soluble polysaccharide, accounts for 85% of the gum's composition. Guar gum is utilized as a food ingredient in the food and beverage sector owing to its stabilizing, thickening, and binding qualities, which provide a smooth texture. They extend the shelf life of prepared foods. likewise, the substance is frequently utilized in medicinal dosage forms, primarily as a binder in tablet production. Gaur gums are favored over synthetic plastics because they are non-toxic, economical, environmentally friendly, and widely available.
