(Food-Beverage-News.Com, January 30, 2020 ) The glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin market is estimated at USD 34.47 billion in 2018. It is projected to reach USD 51.87 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2018, in terms of value. The market is driven by the increase in demand from the beverage industry, intense research & development activities, and increase in demand for convenience foods. The demand for glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin in the food & beverages segment, is expected to witness significant growth in the near future, as major food & beverage companies are expected to increase the application of glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin due to their multiple benefits, including their role as sweeteners, binders, emulsifiers, and thickening agents. However, growth in demand for gums as an alternative to glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin restrains market growth.
The confectionery products segment is projected to dominate the glucose market for food & beverages through the forecasted period.
Glucose syrup is widely used in the confectionery industry. As it is a doctoring agent, it prevents crystallization, imparting uniformity to the product; in some confectionery applications, it can be used as a necessary ingredient up to the extent of around 40%. It is generally used in the production of homogenous confectionery products such as chewing gums and chocolates. Liquid glucose also has good preservative qualities, imparts a smooth texture to the end product, and enhances the shelf life of the end product. This has led to increased demand for glucose in the confectionery products segment.
The food & beverages segment is projected to dominate the dextrose market through the forecast period.
Dextrose is used as a sweetener and nutritional supplement in the production of various food products such as in candy & gums, creams, bakery products, jarred & canned foods, frozen dairy products, and cured meats. It can also be used in beverages, jelly, jam, and honey for improved taste and quality and extended shelf life. Thus, changes in food habits and inclination toward snacks and desserts, where dextrose is used as an effective sweetening agent, drive the usage of dextrose in the food & beverages segment.
