North America Liquid Sugar Market

North America Liquid Sugar Market Size

The liquid sugar market size in North America was valued at USD 28.8 million in 2023. The North American market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.54% from 2024 to 2032 and be worth USD 46.9 million by 2032 from USD 30.48 million in 2024.

Liquid sugar is a light, clear syrup made from a concentrated sugar solution. The syrup is made of water and sucrose. Liquid sugar acts as a sweetener that is mainly used in homes and restaurants. It has various applications because of its consistency in processes like dissolution, filtering, and others, which are difficult to do in granular or powder form.

MARKET DRIVERS

The main aspect projected to drive growth in the North American liquid sugar market is the increased demand for liquid sugar in the food and beverage sector. In addition, the increasing consumer preference for low-calorie sugar, increased disposable income, and efficient distribution channels should stimulate demand for liquid sugar. Furthermore, the ability to increase the shelf life of baked goods with high consistency and uniformity should also stimulate the growth of the regional liquid sugar market. A recent trend in the target market is that manufacturers around the world are demanding more liquid sugar than powdered and granulated sugar, as this results in a significant reduction in costs that would otherwise be incurred in the equipment required for filtering, dissolving, and pasteurization. Consumer preference is shifting to different flavors in food products, as well as demanding low-calorie, high-fiber products. In addition, major players are focusing on launching new products with maximum sugar reduction, collaboration, and M&A activity to expand their presence. For example, Tosla doo, a Slovenian food startup, introduced liquid sugar at FIE 2017. The product offers 30% less sugar, 10% fewer calories, a double fiber content, and 20% less cooking time.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

However, increases in raw material prices and distribution and transportation costs could hinder the growth of the North American liquid sugar market in the near future.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON NORTH AMERICA LIQUID SUGAR MARKET

Indian farmers constantly struggle with asymmetric monsoons and irregular rains, extreme natural events, disrupted supply chains, and rising inflation as if it weren't enough. These problems are now complemented this year by COVID-induced blockades and predatory attacks by locusts. The onset of the coronavirus pandemic coincided with the peak of the harvest season. As markets are closed, there is a threat to harvest on more than 100 lakh hectares in the country. Even between different segments, the impact varies considerably by region and between producers and agricultural workers. This impact will have repercussions throughout the economy and will last more than a few months. Despite all the measures and in view of the persistent restrictions on the movement of people and movement of vehicles, concerns were expressed regarding the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the agricultural economy. However, if the same scenario continues until the end of the year, then seed availability can certainly be a problem. Due to the disruption of world trade, farmers face a shortage of agricultural inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides.
