MARKET OVERVIEW

Carob gum is a food additive with natural properties and it is made from carob seeds. The carob tree has pods that include both seeds and pulp. The seeds of the carob tree dry when they are removed. The dehydrated seeds are heated to release their natural oils and become tastier before being crushed into a precipitate known as Carob bean gum (CBG). Carob bean gum occurs as a white to yellow-white precipitate. It is specifically the endosperm of the seed that grows crushed to create Carob bean gum powder. The carob bean gum market recognizes CBG as a thickening and stabilizing ground cocoa powder, but it is lower in fat and calories than cocoa. CBG acts as a water carrier in frozen dairy products, dairy products, and sugary foods. Carob bean gum improves the water retention capacity and stabilizes the freezing and melting properties of food products. It has been found to have applications in the textile industry as a sizing agent that improves bonding characteristics between resin systems. Carob bean gum is gluten-free and is sometimes used in foods to impart a chocolate flavor. Although Carob bean gum does not contain a ton of nutrients, it does contain a substantial amount of dietary fiber that is beneficial to health.

MARKET DRIVERS AND RESTRAINTS

Carob Bean Gum surpasses in the food industry due to its natural properties as a food additive. Commercial-grade foods where flavors and flavor enhancers play a potential role is promoting the growth in the global carob bean gum market. In addition, these additives improve the structures and aromas to improve the nutritional value of the consumables. Additionally, food manufacturers have gradually started to prefer natural and custom enhancers and additives to artificial enhancers, promoting healthy additives on the market and providing opportunities to market participants for Carob bean gum. It has been able to enter the market for carob gum, where it is used as a healthier substitute for cocoa powder in baked goods or desserts. The main growth factor of CBG in recent years is attributed to the substitution of guar gum application in food and beverages. However, the carob tree that is the basis of CBG is grown natively in the Mediterranean region. The region during winters damages the carob fruits, which translates into a lower carob yield. The creation of an imbalance between supply and demand due to limited resources may hamper the growth of the global carob bean gum market.

Impact of covid-19 on the global Carob Bean Gum Market

COVID-19 likely to influence the food and beverage industry and all its associated industries. Meeting short-term demands shouldn't be a major challenge for most companies in the food industry, but industry experts and analysts have expressed a lack of clarity about the extent and extent of germs' impact. Due to this uncertainty, the F&B sector experienced product supply delays. Many companies have launched contingency plans to build deep supply chain facilities around the world. Food manufacturers in different countries started working with local suppliers to overcome ingredient shortages. The F&B culture has emerged over the last few years but will see some challenges with the coronavirus outbreak.
