- Press Release -

Rockville, Md. The global refined cane sugar market is set to surpass US$ 54.8 Bn by 2022 on moderate growth, according to Fact.MR, as its use across food and beverage products continues to widen. High refinement makes the sugar easy to apply across most food formulations, and rising awareness of ingredient quality is working in its favour, even if the extended refining process can trim nutritional and fibre content and raise cost.

Liquid refined sugar leads the product mix, and Asia Pacific excluding Japan is the most attractive region, anchored by the world's leading cane-producing nations.

Products and Regions

Liquid refined cane sugar holds about 23% of revenue and is set to pass US$ 12.747 Bn by 2022, while powdered refined cane sugar holds around 17% and continues to rise. Together they are pulling the wider market along.

Asia Pacific excluding Japan stays the most attractive region on high sugarcane output and grows at a steady CAGR, the Middle East and Africa is set for impressive growth as consumption climbs, and Europe reaches more than US$ 7.43 Bn by 2022. India, China, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam lead global production on the strength of widespread sugarcane availability.

Food Use Drives Demand

The market runs on the kitchen and the processing line. As a versatile, widely available ingredient and a source of essential nutrients in several variants and flavours, refined cane sugar sees dependable demand across emerging and developed markets, supported by growing attention to ingredient quality.

• Shree Renuka Sugars Limited, American Crystal Sugar Company, Louis Dreyfus Company B.V., Tereos international limited, Cosan SA, E.I.D.-Parry (India) Limited, Associated British Foods Plc., Tongaat Hulett Sugar South Africa Limited, and Raizen S.A are among the key players in the report.
