The Global Glucose Syrup Market size is expected to reach $5.1 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 4.4% CAGR during the forecast period.

Sugar is hydrolyzed to create glucose syrup, sometimes referred to as a confectioner's glucose. A sugar is glucose. In the US, maize (corn) is frequently used as the starch source, in which case the syrup is known as "corn syrup," although glucose syrup can also be produced using potatoes, wheat, and less frequently, barley, rice, and cassava. Because they are abundant sources of starch, corn, rice, wheat, and potatoes are typically used to manufacture glucose syrup, which is a sweetening liquid that is created after the hydrolysis of the glucose molecule.



Generally speaking, glucose syrup is fat-free yet heavy in calories. Cornstarch-based glucose syrup also has trace amounts of calcium, zinc, and thiamine. Beer is occasionally made using glucose sugar as well. In the household, glucose sugar is a highly frequent ingredient used to produce iced tea or homemade lemonade. Many top-tier chefs employ glucose sugar to improve the flavor of their dishes.

Growing consumer demand for convenience foods and increased use of glucose syrup in baked goods like sweets are two reasons driving the market's expansion.

The requirement for glucose syrup is driven by its non-toxic, anti-crystal, anti-freezing, humectant that is ingredient that retains moisture and keeps freshness, and preservation characteristics. In addition to being used as a sweetener, glucose syrup is increasingly being used as a thickening. Also, by providing a food grade a shine and varnish, glucose syrup raises the grade's organoleptic value.
