The sugar alcohol market is expected to generate US$ 3.31 billion in sales in 2023, according to Future Market Insights (FMI) recently released research report. By 2033, the market may potentially exceed a worth of US$ 4.59 billion. Market participants could estimate a CAGR of 4.2% over the forecast period.
Consumer demand for low-calorie, sugar-free, and diabetic food items is rising owing to increasing rates of lifestyle disorders, including obesity and diabetes, all across the world. Diabetes is becoming increasingly common in many nations, which has caused people to be more aware of their nutrition and health.
The food and beverage end-user industry, where the bakery and confectionery maintain the lion’s share of the market, consumes the bulk of the polyol produced. Customers choose sugar-free food items due to the fast-paced lifestyle, which is likely to fuel the market expansion.
More people are buying sugar-free and low-calorie food items, which are predicted to increase the usage of sugar alcohol in various food items. Sugar alcohol is also widely utilized in the preparation of different food products, including bakery products, confectionery, beverages, and sweet spreads, since it has a lower calorie content than actual cane sugar.
The top businesses are producing fresh products with little or no sugar by employing sugar alcohol to give other goods the same texture and flavor, which is accelerating market expansion. Consumer desire for healthier substitutes for unhealthy elements in junk food, such as ice cream with protein, fewer calories, decadent flavors, and sugar alcohols, is on the rise. This demand is fueling the market expansion.
Sugar alcohols play a significant part in the entire formulation of pharmaceutical preparations as both an excipient and an active ingredient. Active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) for addressing constipation have traditionally included polyols. Polyols are often used as excipients in contemporary formulations, including consumer-friendly lozenges and chewable tablets.
The sugar alcohol market is dominated by Europe. The pharmaceutical industry share is higher in European nations. Given this, sugar alcohols are used to create tablets, syrups, and soft gels. For use in low-calorie confections and baked goods, sugar alcohols are highly sought-after in this region.
