Global Cane Sugar Market

As the demand for refined cane sugar is increasingly gaining traction across the globe.The global cane sugar market can be estimated at USD XX million in 2017 and might reach USD XX million by 2025, exhibiting a CAGR of X.X% during the period. Because of its high refinement, its application as an additive is increasing to sweeten a vast range of food products and beverages. Since the consumption of refined cane sugar is surging in both developed and emerging countries. This can be attributed to the increasing consumer preference for healthier and pure food ingredients. Also, refined cane sugar is available in several texture variants and is also a prominent source of several essential nutrients. But this extensive refining process can sometimes reduce its nutritional content. Countries like China, India, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia are major producers of refined cane sugar. As sugarcane is one of the most commonly irrigated crops in these countries, thus the production of various types of sugar is also considerably high.

End-user/Technology

The end users are Food Processors, Livestock Feed, Retailers and industrial users

Market Dynamics

The demand for cane sugar is mostly dependent on the growth of the sugarcane industry in developing countries like China, India, and Indonesia. The ever rising demand for sugar is fueled by the heavy demand for ethanol for industrial purposes. Ethanol production can be expected to achieve an average growth rate of XX% per annum by 2025. Since, as ethanol competes with gasoline as a transport fuel, a drop in the prices of gasoline will result in lower oil prices hence lower ethanol prices and subsequently lower demand for sugar to produce ethanol.

Market Segmentation

There exists a highly concentrated cane sugar export market. Here the top three exporters account for roughly XX% of the global cane sugar trade. The major global cane sugar exporting countries include Brazil (55.3% of total exports), Thailand (XX %), Guatemala (X %) and Mexico (XX %). Brazil producing XX% is the largest producer of cane sugar in the world which is followed by India (XX %), China (XX %), Thailand (XX %) and Pakistan. In the case of the import market, China is the lead importer (XX% of total imports), followed by Indonesia (XX %) and the USA (XX %)

Regional/Geographic Analysis

Brazil, Australia, Belize, Paraguay and Fiji accounts for 91 per cent of all production of sustainable sugar.Though Asia pacific is the dominating region in global cane sugar market, since India and China are the major sugar producing countries in the world. Asia pacific has also witnessed increased demand of cane sugar due to higher consumption of confectionary products. Also nutritional transition and healthy lifestyle led to changes in the lifestyle in developing region and thus driving the cane sugar market in emerging nations.

Opportunities

The consumption of artificial sugar or high-fructose corn syrup has increased quite dramatically over the last few years. Though the consumption varies considerably from country to country.The USA, Brazil, Argentina, Australia and Mexico are found at the top with production more than double the world average. It ranges from 40 teaspoons per person for the USA to 7 teaspoons per person for China. The growing demand for sugar is the strongest in emerging economies, particularly South America and Asia.

Also, currently sugar is one of the most regulated commodities. It is subjected to quotas, subsidies and import duties in most of the countries. Sugar can be categorized into two distinguishable groups- raw sugar and refined sugar. It can be produced from two sources-sugar cane or sugar beet. While cane sugar accounts for around 80% of all sugar produced in the world, the remaining 20% comes from sugar beet.
