Sugar Powder Market Overview

Sugar Powder Market Geographical Share

North America the dominating region during the forecast period

North America was the largest regional market in 2021 and will expand further at a steady CAGR from 2023-2030. Although the sugar market in industrialized economies remains saturated, rising disposable incomes, urbanization, and changing culinary preferences drive demand for sugar powder in developing markets, such as U.S. and Mexico. Further, North American people consume bakery items in their homes daily, and this habitual trend has favored the growth of the sugar powder market in these parts of the globe. Sugar powder market revenue growth is also directly dependent on seasonal demand. The market normally witnesses a surge during christmas when the production of cookies, cakes and other confectionery items grows around the globe. Government policies and frameworks in the U.S. have positively affected the sugar powder industry. According to the North American Free Trade Agreement, Mexico was favored with an unlimited quantity of export of sugar powder to the U.S. For instance, on 1st June 2021, International Molasses introduced CaneRite Panela, an all-natural, unrefined, non-centrifuged powder sweetener made from the freshly squeezed juice of the entire sugar cane plant. It offers mellow notes of toffee and caramel with a sweet-but-not-too-sweet taste.

COVID-19 Impact Sugar Powder Market

Positive impact on the global sugar powder market

Consumer health concerns influenced the sugar industry during the COVID-19 epidemic. Furthermore, nationwide lockdowns and restrictions on ingredient supply to food processing firms had a considerable impact on sugar consumption in 2020. Because of lesser demand, the price of industrial sugar dropped significantly, lowering the market value. However, when the restrictions loosened during the epidemic, the eateries reopened, and the sector's supply chain was also back on track, continuing market growth. Product sales are predicted to rise steadily over the forecasted period due to rising demand for processed foods and beverages and rising out-of-home consumption. According to International Sugar Organization, the volume of sugar traded internationally in 2021 declined, by 4.790 mln tonnes from the previous year’s record level, of 63.149 mln tonnes. A 3.381 mln tonne decline in Brazil exports is at the base of this change, while a smaller crop in Thailand saw shipments fall by 2.162 mln tonnes. Indian exports rose for the fourth year to 8.133 mln tonnes, up 1.083 mln tonnes on the 2020 level.
