The global industrial sugar market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of nearly 5.6% during the forecast period. The major factors contributing to the market growth include significant applications in the food and beverage industry and increasing production of sugarcane. As per the International Sugar Organization, the global sugar production represented an increase of 8.034 million tons to a record 178.612 million tons in 2018. In 2018, a considerable rise in sugar production has witnessed in India (+10.845 million tons) and Thailand (+4.653 million tons) than in 2017. Sugar is produced by nearly 110 countries from either beet or cane, and production of sugar with both cane and beet has witnessed in eight countries.
Sugarcane accounts for approximately 80% of global sugar production. In 2018, the top 10 sugar-producing countries were India, Brazil, Thailand, China, the US, Mexico, Russia, Pakistan, France, Australia. These accounted for approximately 70% of the global output. Rising consumption of sugar in households and industrial production is the major cause for accelerating production output of sugar. The food industry uses white and brown crystalline sugars as sweeteners. In baking and confectionery, powdered sugars are utilized as icing sugar. In addition, sugar syrups are utilized as a base for flavored syrups, toppings, and fruit sauces, and in beverages. Sugars are used in medical syrups, tomato sauces, and mayonnaise, to deal with acidic and bitter tastes. Therefore, there is a considerable application of sugar in food and beverage industry. However, increasing shift towards alternate sweeteners is acting as a major restraining factor for the market growth.
Market Segmentation
The global industrial sugar market is classified into type, source, form, and application. Based on type, the market is classified into white, brown, and liquid. Based on the source, the market is classified into cane sugar and beet sugar. Based on form, the market is classified into granulated, powder, and syrup. Based on application, the market is classified into bakery and confectionery, dairy, beverages, canned and frozen foods, other foods, and pharmaceuticals.
Cane Sugar Held the Largest Share in the Industrial Applications
Significant rise in the production of sugarcane and the rising concerns about genetically modified organisms boosts the preference for cane sugar in industrial applications. In the US, it is estimated that nearly 95% of sugar beets are genetically modified, however, all sugarcanes produced in the country is considered as non-GMO. The consumers prefer to avoid genetically modified organisms (GMOs) due to concerns about food allergies, antibiotic resistance, and other adverse effects on health. Therefore, food manufacturers may primarily use non-GMO ingredients including cane sugar due to the increasing preference of consumers for non-GMO products. This, in turn, is contributing to the adoption of non-GMO cane sugar in food and beverage applications.

Regional Outlook
Geographically, Asia-Pacific is estimated to witness potential growth during the forecast period. Significant production of sugar and expansion of pharmaceutical and food and beverage industry is primarily contributing to the market growth in the region. Ease in foreign direct investment (FDI) has led to the expansion of industrial production facilities in the region, which leads to an emerging demand for sugar in pharmaceutical and food and beverage applications. Sugar has been utilized as a clean carbon source by the fermentation industry to produce pharmaceuticals, primarily antibiotics, and other pharmaceutical products including syrup for human consumption. India is home to some major pharmaceutical companies such as Sun Pharmaceutical, Dr Reddy’s Laboratories, and Cipla. This, in turn, increased the pharmaceutical production capabilities in the country, which thereby is encouraging the demand for sugar in the region.

Market Players Outlook
Some prominent players in the market include Cargill, Inc., Associated British Foods plc, Raízen Energia S.A., Südzucker AG, and Tereos. Product launches, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and partnerships and collaborations are some crucial strategies adopted by the market players to expand market share and gain a competitive advantage. For instance, in July 2019, Dalmia Bharat Sugar & Industries declared that it is looking to invest nearly $43 million to $58 million for scaling up the manufacturing capacity, either through acquisition or organically. This investment could be partly financed by equity and partly by debt in the ratio of 1:1. It will enable the company to expand its sugar production at its five units in Indian states, Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Maharashtra.
