painting, ceramics, printing, and others. The water-soluble additive is used as an edible stabilizer & emulsifier, for
viscosity control, and other industrial applications. Most commonly it is used in making Middle Eastern desserts and
as an emulsifier for syrups used in the production of popular soft drinks. Known also as acacia gum, gum arabic is
increasingly being recognized for its pharmaceutical applications as a demulcent. Key market players are conducting
research & development activities to uncover further applications for the material; this is expected to offer expansion
opportunities to the global market.
Availability of less expensive materials is expected to hinder market growth. Moreover, production is limited, and
variations in climate can affect annual yield thus leading to fluctuating prices which poses a challenge to market
growth. However, unlike most additives, gum arabic is natural, making it the preferable choice amidst health and
environmental concerns.
