Global Crystalline Fructose Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029

Global Crystalline Fructose Market, By Application (Food, Beverages, Bakery and Confectionery) Nature (Organic, Conventional) Distribution Channel (Business-2-Business, Business-2-Consumer) – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029.

Market Analysis and Size

The primary application of crystalline fructose is as a sweetener in beverages and yogurts. Food-grade crystalline fructose can be easily combined with other starches and sweeteners to increase sweetness while providing an excellent mouthfeel and pleasant aroma because fructose does not hydrolyse like sucrose does, flavor of the product remains unchanged and the storage period is extended.

Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the Crystalline fructose market was valued at USD 0.590 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach the value of USD 1.13 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.

Market Definition

Crystalline fructose is a pure colorless crystal of fructose sugar found in fruits and grains. Crystalline fructose is a popular sweetener in beverages because it has a low glycaemic index and is 20% sweeter than sucrose. Compared to high fructose corn syrup, crystalline fructose has a better taste, texture, and stability. Crystalline fructose contains nearly 98 percent fructose, with the remaining 2 percent of trace minerals and water.

Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Crystalline Fructose Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising consumption and production of sugarcane

Due to the high consumption and production of sugarcane, the global market for crystalline fructose has increased over the years. Sugarcane is one of the most widely cultivated tropical crops globally, owing to its high crystalline fructose output. Most of the world's sugar is derived from sugarcane, with the remainder derived from corn and other sources. The increased use of crystalline fructose as a food additive in the food and beverage industry is driving market growth due to its low-calorie benefit and ability to grow food value.

• Growing demand in various end-user industries

The increased use of crystalline fructose in various end-use applications such as pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food, feed, ethanol production, and others is also driving the market. It can be used as a water-retaining agent in personal care and cosmetics serums and as a nutritional supplement in pharmaceutical products such as syrups and injections. Strong R&D combined with technical capabilities has put the company in the lead, and as a result, the demand for crystalline sugar has grown over time.

Opportunity

Growing technical innovation in the food processing sector, as well as rising demand for nutritional snack bars, will, on the other hand, boost various opportunities that will lead to the growth of the fructose market during the forecast period.

Restraints

However, many scientists believe that excessive crystalline fructose consumption can lead to serious health problems such as type II diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and, in some cases, cancer. However, more compelling evidence is required. According to scientists, it can also disrupt the body's metabolism. This could stifle the growth of the crystalline fructose market.

COVID-19 Impact on Crystalline Fructose Market

The global pandemic of COVID-19 disease is becoming a significant impediment to the global economy and has an impact on the growth of the food and beverage industry. Food manufacturers have reduced the production of major food products. Foodservice restaurant sales have also decreased as the consumption of away-from-home food products has decreased. The output of food-grade crystalline fructose has also been hampered because it is primarily derived from corn, and trade and processing of agricultural products have been halted. As a result, the COVID-19 disease outbreak would have only a minor impact on the food-grade crystalline fructose market.
