Guar Complex Market Overview

The Guar Complex Market size is estimated to reach $1,450 million by 2027. Furthermore, it is poised to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period of 2022-2027. Guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) is a leguminous crop that prefers sandy soils and requires moderate, intermittent rainfall to thrive. After the first monsoon showers, it is a robust, drought-resistant bush sowed between the second half of July and early August. It's harvested in late October and early November. The guar plant survives in dryland and drought-prone areas where other plants would die. It thrives in sandy soil. Guar green pods are eaten as a vegetable. Guar gum is made by dehusking, milling, and screening guar seeds. It's usually milled into a free-flowing powder that's pale off-white in color and coarse to fine in texture. Cluster bean is a commercially grown annual crop for gum production in traditional places. Guar gum is a dietary fiber that helps to regulate stool moisture by absorbing excess liquid in diarrhea and softening the stool in constipation. It also aids in the reduction of cholesterol and glucose absorption in the stomach and intestines. Guar seed contains galactose that helps to be more soluble than locust bean gum. Galactomannan is the most abundant storage polysaccharides in guar seeds, accumulating in the endosperm cell walls.
Rising health consciousness among consumers gives rise to the demand for guar products. The increasing use of guar in cattle food is one of the factors driving the Guar Complex Industry forward in 2022-2027.

Guar Complex Market Drivers

Rising Health Consciousness among Consumers Gives Rise to the Demand for Guar Products, which Readily Aided the Market Growth

Growing consumer awareness regarding the health benefits provided by the guar seeds, such as improving glucose tolerance and lowering serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides, give rise to the demand for guar complex. People are becoming more health-conscious due to the changes in their perspective, making them look harder at their diet. Owing to the rising demand among consumers, the production of guar seeds surges. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, India produced 9-10 lakh tonnes of guar seeds in 2019. Organic products and meals that help improve immunity, metabolism, and overall physical health are considerably more popular these days, increasing the demand for guar plants. Nowadays, people are consuming low fat and low-calorie food items, which further soars the need for guar seeds as their consumption helps get rid of various heart diseases by reducing the cholesterol level in the body, helping to control diabetes, and maintaining bowel movement.
Moreover, it is used to relieve Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms (IBS). It can also be used as an add-on treatment to help balance healthy bacteria in the system. They are owing to the rising demand for guar complex among consumers, the use of guar seeds surges in the food industry. Various applications of guar gum in the food industry are ice cream, yogurts, plant-based milk, and soups. Also, growing interest among people for weight loss surges the consumption of guar seeds as it expands in the intestine, causing a sense of fullness and thus decreasing appetite. It's a common ingredient in gluten-free baking as well as processed goods. Dairy products, sauces, and baked foods are also included. It's also utilized in non-food goods as an additive. It's sold as a thickening and binder in powder form for baking and cooking, and it's frequently used in gluten-free recipes.

Increasing Use of Guar in Cattle Food is Set to Drive the Market Growth

Guar Meal is a protein-rich thickening ingredient commonly used in cattle feed to promote development and good milk production. Since it is produced without chemicals, guar seed is safe in animal feed. Guar meal is the most excellent protein-containing animal feed in the dairy cow category. It contains up to 50% protein with high digestibility, which helps cows and buffaloes digest their food more efficiently. Since it is heavy in protein, it produces more fat in its milk while also increasing the amount of milk produced. The ideal usage of Guar Churi in poultry is 4-7%.
On the other hand, swine feed can be applied in 5-7%. Cattle production is the most important agricultural industry in the United States, accounting for most overall agricultural commodity cash receipts. According to the USDA, cattle production is expected to account for nearly 17% of the $391 billion in total cash revenues for agricultural commodities in 2021. The United States has built a beef business that is mainly separate from its dairy sector, owing to its abundant agricultural land resources. Compared to countries like India, which produce beef from water buffalo used as dual-purpose animals, the U.S. beef business is unique. 

Guar Complex Market Challenges

The High Cost of Guar Seeds is one of the factors impeding the market growth

The guar's production is influenced by the weather, with any bad weather resulting in a fall in production volume, supply, and price rises. According to the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), guar prices raised by 37%. There have been very positive price indications after the new USA government realized its willingness to make the continent self-sufficient in oil production. The usage of guar gum powder in oil mining has caused a turnaround in the declining trend. As a result, there have been price movements around INR 4500 /100kg, with the prices trending between this level and INR 3200/kg. In India, the monsoon activities remain low in various states like Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, which negatively affects the production of guar seeds. Rainfall is a significant factor for climate as it becomes one factor that helps increase the production of crops. However, due to the fluctuation in temperature, crops cannot grow properly, thus hampering the market growth.
