The industry is an oligopoly, dominated by two producers: British Sugar and T&L Sugars. The former is a beet refiner, processing all sugar beet grown in the UK. Since Tate & Lyle sold its UK sugar refineries to the ASR Group in 2010, the latter's subsidiary, T&L Sugars, has been the only other dominant producer. This industry covers the manufacture or refining of sugar (sucrose) and sugar substitutes from cane, beet, maple and palm juice. It also includes the production of sugar syrups, molasses, maple syrup and raw sugar. The production of glucose, glucose syrup and maltose does not fall under the industry. This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.Bittersweet: Manufacturers reduce their sugar content, threatening sugar sales
