Scope of the Report

The global Pullulan market size is predicted to grow from US$ 77.81 million in 2025 to US$ 105 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2026 to 2032.

Pullulan is produced by fermentation from aureobasidium pullulans. Similarly, dextran, xanthan gum, it is an extracellular water-soluble viscous polysaccharide. It is a special kind of microbial polysaccharides discovered by the R. Bauer in 1938. Due to its unique structure and properties, Pullulan has broad application prospects in the pharmaceutical, food, chemical and other industries. The Pullulan market covers Purity ≥ 95%, Purity &lt; 95%. The typical players include Hayashibara, KOPL, Meihua, Freda, Kangnaxin, Hierand Biotech, Henbo Bio-technology, Jinmei Biotechnology, etc.

Pullulan is a polysaccharide material with broad application prospects. It has indeed demonstrated its excellent performance in many fields. Its solubility, dispersibility, film-forming properties and non-toxicity have broad application prospects in food packaging, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and other industries. Pullulan is widely used and has great economic value and development potential. However, it has not been produced on a larger scale. The high price is mainly due to the large intake of melanin, high viscosity of the fermentation liquid, and high cost after extraction. At present, it is only produced exclusively by Hayashihara Company in Japan. Research on how to achieve both low pigment levels and high polysaccharide conversion rates and conduct industrial research is the current hot spot. The realization of fermentation automation and visualization is the forefront of international fermentation research today. Through visual automatic control technology, the fermentation process can be controlled by controlling the short stem mold in a specific form, so as to obtain the best effect.
