In India, the average prices of Guar Gum were ~USD 492.78/MT (FOB) in July and ~USD 488.35/MT in August, showing a slight decrease. China dropped about 0.8%, from ~USD 905.34/MT (CIF) to ~USD 898.10/MT. Overall, prices softened slightly during July and August before firming toward the end of the quarter. Guar gum reached a seven-month high in early July, but eased by mid-August as adequate supply from growing areas and weak spot demand weighed on the market. Conditions changed in September, as Rajasthan’s monsoon rainfall fell 21.16% below normal, with western districts, the main guar belt, worst affected. Lower wing led traders to fear output could fall by nearly half. Prices rallied in early September, corrected briefly as processors faced negative crushing margins, then rebounded on festive and global demand.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, in the near term, guar gum prices are expected to firm as crop shortfall concerns grow, though adequate old-crop stocks and weak processor margins may limit sharp increases.

In India, guar gum prices increased from ~USD 438.73/MT in April to ~USD 449.00/MT in June, showing a ~2.3% increase. Export demand supported prices as industrial buyers remained active, particularly from the oil and shale gas sector, which accounts for around 90% of exported industrial-grade guar gum consumption. Supply remained sensitive to guar seed availability and expectations for the monsoon, as the crop is predominantly rain-fed. Rajasthan, which contributes about 72% of India’s guar output, remained particularly important to regional availability. Expectations around rainfall influenced farmer selling patterns, processing activity and raw-material procurement during Q2 2026. Export compliance requirements for shipments to the European Union also remained relevant for food and feed applications. Similarly, in China, the prices of Guar Gum were ~USD 789.54/MT in April and ~USD 823.00/MT in June, showing a ~4.2% increase during the quarter.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, guar gum prices are likely to remain firm, with monsoon performance, crop expectations and oilfield demand determining the balance between raw-material availability and export procurement.
Guar Gum, a galactomannan polysaccharide, is a free-flowing off-white powder produced from guar beans. It is the ground endosperm of the guar plant seed. It has thickening, nongelling, and stabilising properties, which make it suitable for use in food, feed, and industrial applications.
It serves as a versatile polymer in the food industry and is added to food products, such as ice cream, milk shakes, yogurt, and aerated desserts, among others. As guar has more galactose branch points, it is relatively more water-soluble than other gums, and acts as a better emulsifier.
