The global sugar market size attained a consumption volume of about 180.31 million tons in 2023. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 1% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a volume of 197.19 million tons by 2032.
Sugar is a sweet, crystalline food supplement mainly extracted from sugar beet and sugar cane and is used in various kinds of drinks and food. Sugar is sweet, soluble in water, provides nutrition and energy, and enhances the colour and texture of food. It can also be used to extend the shelf life of food products such as jams and jellies by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms.
The increasing demand for confectionery products is one of the major factors driving the sugar market growth. The household consumption of sugar remains high due to increased popularity of homemade pastries, cakes, sweet rolls, and pies, among other dessert or bakery products. Rising standards of living and increasing purchasing power in emerging economies, which usually lead to higher consumption of processed foods containing high sugar content, such as dairy and soft drinks, are expanding the market share. Additionally, favourable government policies and agreements regarding the export, import and trade of sugar favour the market expansion.

White sugar accounts for a major sugar market share due to its neutral profile which makes it compatible with a wide range of food products
White sugar, a common type of refined sugar, occupies the major market share as it is the preferred sweetener for various foods and beverages. The food and beverage sector which includes sectors like confectionery, bakery, and dairy heavily relies on white sugar for its neutral flavour, colour, and preservative qualities. Moreover, the affordability of white sugar makes it a popular choice in both developed and developing countries. White sugar also possesses a long shelf life and does not require refrigeration to preserve its quality, which makes it a favourable choice.
Brown sugar is increasingly being demanded by health-conscious consumers as it is a healthier alternative compared to white sugar. It is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, and supports overall human health. It also contains polyphenols, a compound which has been scientifically researched to have multiple health benefits, further boosting its popularity.
The food and beverage sector maintains its dominance in the market due to the rising use of sugar in processed foods
The food and beverages sector holds the majority share in the sugar market as granulated sugar is widely used in various food and beverage products like baked goods, confectionery, soft drinks, and other processed foods. For example, in baked goods and confectionery, sugar can enhance the texture, volume, and colour of the product, whereas in bread and alcohol production, it can be used for fermentation.
The pharma and personal care sectors are also witnessing rise in sugar consumption for various purposes. Sugar can improve the taste of medicines and make them more palatable, which drives their demand in pharmaceuticals. Sugar coatings are used on medicines to improve their taste and make them easier to consume. Moreover, in the personal care sector, sugar is incorporated into exfoliating products such as scrubs to remove dead skin cells and improve the natural glow of skin.
