Cane Sugar Global Market Report 2024

The cane sugar market has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $178.14 billion in 2023 to $183.07 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.8%. During the historical period, the notable growth can be attributed to several factors. These include the expansion of the global population, shifts in cultural and culinary preferences, the continual growth of the food and beverage industry, increased usage in various industrial applications, and the adoption of cane sugar as a substitute for artificial sweeteners.

The cane sugar market is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $206.95 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be traced to several factors, including a rising demand for natural ingredients, the expanding market presence in developing regions, heightened awareness concerning sustainable agricultural practices, consumer preferences leaning towards authentic and traditional foods, and the influence of climate change on sugar production.

The escalating demand for sugar-laden confectionery products and soft drinks is anticipated to be the driving force behind the expanding cane sugar industry. Confectionery products encompass a range of treats, including sweets, chocolates, and sweetened beverages, heavily relying on cane sugar as a primary sweetening agent. The surge in demand for these sugar-rich items significantly amplifies the market demand for cane sugar. For instance, as reported by Farm Credit Canada in March 2023, the Canadian sugar and confectionery sector witnessed a notable 15.0% sales surge in 2021, reaching $4.5 billion, primarily fueled by escalated volume sales, thereby raising manufacturing selling prices by over 4.9%. Thus, the burgeoning appetite for sugar-based confectionery products and beverages drives the growth trajectory of the cane sugar market.

The burgeoning need for cane sugar within the food and beverage sector is poised to augment the growth of the cane sugar market. This sector encompasses entities involved in processing, packaging, and distributing food items. Cane sugar serves as a versatile ingredient in this industry, contributing sweetness, texture, preservation, and flavor enhancement across various products. Notably, in 2023, Scotland hosted 1,185 food and beverage manufacturing companies, witnessing a substantial 31% surge in exports, totaling $10.18 billion (£8.1 billion). Moreover, food and beverage turnover accounted for $12.5 billion (£10.3 billion), constituting 33% of total Scottish manufacturing. Consequently, the amplified demand from significant end-users, such as the food and beverage industry, propels the growth of the cane sugar market.

Innovation emerges as a pivotal trend gaining traction within the cane sugar market. Leading companies operating in this sector prioritize product innovation to maintain their market standing. For instance, in August 2022, Raízen, a Brazil-based energy company, collaborated with ASR Group, a US-based cane sugar refining entity, introducing the world's premier sustainable and fully traceable supply chain for non-GM raw cane sugar, certified independently. This innovation involves a dedicated farming, bioenergy parks, and infrastructure operation, ensuring a 100% physically traceable and non-genetically modified supply chain.

Prominent entities within the cane sugar industry focus on strategic partnerships to reinforce their market positions.

This collaboration emphasizes the development and implementation of a traceable and sustainable sugar supply chain.
