Market Dynamics
Market Trend- Steady growth in sugar consumption in developing markets
The sugar demand worldwide is expected to remain steady over the forecast period to 2030. Despite the foray into sugar substitutes, the growing trend towards reducing sugar intake, and the increasing prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and other chronic conditions, the demand for sugar is estimated to remain steady throughout the forecast period. However, the growth in demand is versatile with slow growth in the matured developed countries and stronger prospects in developing countries.
In particular, the emerging countries in the Asia Pacific, including India, China, Indonesia, and others play a vital role in global sugar consumption levels. Consumer preference for Western foods, increasing bakery and confectionary food consumption, and growth of non-alcoholic beverages drive the market potential.
Global sugar consumption is estimated at around 175 million metric tonnes in 2021. The market offers significant potential for trading entities. An estimated 70 million tonnes of the production is exported to international markets, while the rest is consumed in domestic markets. Brazil continues to be the leading supplier of sugar (with over 40 million tonnes of production) while India continues to be the leading consumer (with over 26 million tonnes of demand).
Market Driver- Widening applications across the food and beverages industry
In the face of growing global demand, sugar exports are likely to expand across countries. During the post-pandemic period, World sugar demand will also be influenced by the recovery. In the food and beverages industry, white granulated sugar is used in jams, jellies, meats, chewing gum, dairy products, condiments, pickles, bakery products, cereals, liquid sugar, powdered sugar, candies, and powdered drink mixes.
A diverse range of granulated sugar, with varying granulometry of 600, 700, 800, 1350, or 2000, with high filterability and other options is marketed to cater to the demand from diverse applications. Sugars play a major role in defining the appearance, volume, and mouthfeel of foods. Compared to its substitutes, sugar is more economical, easily available, and consumed across all socio-economic age groups.
They are also important in food preservation, anticoagulant agent, viscosity addition, and other uses in diverse applications. This white granulated sugar adds sweetness and texture without introducing any other color or flavor. Vitamin-fortified and non-fortified products are being marketed. Further, certified organic quality white granulated sugar is also widely being marketed to attract customers.
Market Segmentation
The global White Granulated Sugar Market is segmented into Sources, Applications, and Countries.
Cane Sugar is the largest type of White Granulated Sugar market in 2022
Sugar cane is one of the most widely grown commercial crops worldwide, and the perennial crop grows mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. Sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum) is a tropical grass that belongs to the grass family (Gramineae).
Cane sugar is characterized by a sweeter aftertaste and fruity aroma. It is used in particular in baking bread and cakes. It is also used for sweetening various foods and drinks. Sugar cane farming is foreseen to expand in many parts of the world. Brazil, India, Thailand, Pakistan, Mexico, and Australia are among the main producers of sugar from sugarcane. Sugarcane and sugar beet production are both projected to grow, driven by both area expansion and yield improvements
Pharmaceuticals are the fastest growing type of applications across markets
In the pharmaceutical sector, it is included in the preparation of antibiotics and cough syrups. Further, in the skin care industry, the skincare sector, sugar is used in the manufacturing of scrubs owing to its exfoliating properties. White sugar is used as a pharmaceutical excipient in tablets and capsules to assist with appearance and ease of transport and storage.
Low price advantages, easy-to-process nature, bulking, and good-tasting carrier properties of sugar encourage its use in the pharmaceutical industry. White sugar is highly utilized in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical dry mixtures, pills, tablets, syrups, and others. Companies often market high-purity, free-flowing, non-GM specialty sugars, providing taste-masking and bulk to improve patient compliance with a particle size range of 450-600µm.
By Region, Asia Pacific accounts for the highest market size for the period 2023 to 2030
Asia Pacific is the largest market for White Granulated Sugar, predominantly driven by large-scale consumption habits in China, India, and the Rest of Asian markets.
India- India is the second largest producer of sugar in the world after Brazil and is also the largest consumer. Low manufacturing and capital costs in India coupled with the wide availability of cane crops encourage manufacturers to expand their production bases in the country. The Indian market is highly fragmented and comprises a large number of small to medium-scale companies. Both private sector units and cooperative sector units have a strong role in sugar processing in the country.
India is the fastest-growing sugar-consuming market, with a market share of 4.21% in the Asia Pacific in 2022. The country is characterized by diversification in the application base of dairy products, snacks, and desserts.
Increasing the standard of living and purchasing power among consumers supports the domestic market demand. Western dietary influences and the growing organized retail sector are supporting the demand for bakery applications. A dense population, their increasing demand for convenience foods, and a high population growth rate create profitable opportunities for manufacturers. The influence of the Western lifestyle coupled with rapid urbanization is encouraging the rapid expansion of the food, and beverage industry, which supports the sugar market growth. Urbanization is another significant factor that will fuel opportunities for the market. Rising spending capacities along with numerous distribution channels are supplementing the market demand.
