Based on type, the industrial sugar market is segmented into white sugar, brown sugar, and liquid sugar. In 2024, the white sugar segment is expected to account for the largest share of 75.0% of the industrial sugar market. The large market share of this segment can be attributed to the affordability and easy accessibility of white sugar, its significant use in food and beverage manufacturing, technological advancements in the production of white sugar, and the high versatility of white sugar, which makes it suitable for various culinary and industrial applications. Moreover, this segment is also projected to record the highest growth rate during the forecast period 2024-2031, owing to the increasing demand for processed foods due to population growth, urbanization, and changing lifestyles; the growing use of sugar in pharmaceuticals and personal care products; and the rising demand for organic sugar-based products.
Based on source, the industrial sugar market is segmented into sugarcane, sugar beet, and other sources. In 2024, the sugarcane segment is expected to account for the largest share of 79.1% of the industrial sugar market. The large market share of this segment can be attributed to the increasing cultivation of sugarcane, the high yield of sugar with sugarcane, and the high affordability and availability of sugarcane for sugar manufacturers. In addition, sugarcane is a rich source of sucrose, which makes it an ideal raw material for sugar production.
Based on form, the industrial sugar market is segmented into granulated, powdered, and syrup. In 2024, the granulated segment is expected to account for the largest share of the industrial sugar market. The large market share of this segment can be attributed to the easy availability, the wide range of F&B applications, and the ease of handling & transporting granulated sugar. In addition, a large number of manufacturers produce sugar in the granulated form, which is also relatively inexpensive compared to other forms. This further supports the adoption of granulated sugar.
Based on application, the industrial sugar market is segmented into food & beverage, pharmaceutical, biofuel, chemical, personal care, and other applications. In 2024, the food & beverage segment is expected to account for the largest share of 75.0% of the industrial sugar market. The large market share of this segment can be attributed to the increasing demand for processed food products and the high use of sugar in confectionery and beverages, including sodas, energy drinks, and fruit juices. Sugar is a key ingredient in various food products, especially confectionery products where its concentration ranges from 85% to 99%.
Based on geography, the industrial sugar market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2024, Asia-Pacific is expected to account for the largest share of 34.5% of the industrial sugar market, followed by North America and Europe.
