By type, white sugar is projected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period
Due to various factors, white sugar is growing at an unprecedented rate in the industrial sugar market. The consumption rate of white sugar has grown steadily over the years, owing to its widespread use in many food items such as baked goods, beverages, and confectioneries. Global sugar production is forecast to reach a record high of 191.7 million tons in 2021/2022, with most of the production being white sugar, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). White sugar production has also been on the rise due to technological advancements and the adoption of efficient cultivation practices. Furthermore, the affordability and accessibility of white sugar have also contributed to its growing popularity in the industrial sugar market. The combination of these factors has led to white sugar becoming the most sought-after variety of sugar in the industrial market, growing at an accelerated rate.
By application, beverages to hold a significant market share during the forecast period
Beverages have the largest market share in the application of the industrial sugar market due to several factors. The consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages such as sodas, energy drinks, and sports drinks has been increasing worldwide, particularly in developing countries. Despite efforts by public health advocates to reduce sugar consumption, sales of sugary drinks in the United States increased by 6.4% in 2021, according to Beverage Digest. The production of these beverages has also been on the rise as the global beverage industry continues to expand. Furthermore, the use of sugar as a sweetener in beverages is preferred due to its low cost and ability to improve the flavor and taste of the product. Coca-Cola remains one of the largest consumers of sugar globally, using over 100 million metric tons annually in its products.
Asia Pacific to boost market growth during the forecast period
