A new report published recently by Future Market Insights has projected the global sugar alcohol market to witness sustained opportunities in the bakery segment. Demand for convenience foods and beverages is expected to positively affect growth, in spite of the ongoing threat from the coronavirus pandemic.
With the growth in urban population, and easy availability of processed foods and beverages, the need for sugar alcohol products has been growing steadily. Ranging from food & beverage applications such as bakery and dairy, and robust supply chains sugar alcohol is being used extensively to also improve on product shelf life.
On the other hand, growing consumer health awareness has resulted in a transition from conventional offerings towards low-calorie, healthy alternatives in the industry, which is having a positive influence on adoption, even in niche pharmaceutical applications.
Key Takeaways
- Xylitol sugar alcohol products to find greater adoption rates, owing to confectionary consumption.
- Erythritol variants to gain ground as sweetening agents, attributed to low-calorie characteristics.
- Bakery product applications as preservatives are expected to gain application with higher consumption of ready-to-eat foods.
- Beverage production to register increased use of sugar alcohols in the period 2020 to 2030.
- Asia-Pacific, led by China is reflecting faster than average growth, Europe likely to retain lead in the market.
“While food and beverage manufacturers continue to use artificial sweeteners, consumers continue to seek healthy alternatives, which in turn has bolstered the demand for polyols, which provides consumers sweet flavorings in addition to nutritive benefits, which will drive demand in the industry for the foreseeable future,” says an FMI analyst

Covid-19 Impact Insights
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to hold the global economy in its grip, the potential for recession is high. With food and beverage production being hit by lockdown, especially in the processed foods sector, the sugar alcohol market is expected to be moderately impacted during this period.
The use of sugar alcohols in the production of hygiene products such as hand sanitizers will drive demand during the crisis period, which can be attributed to the largely number of patients, and high-levels of contagiousness of the virus. Applications in the pharma sector are also likely to witness an uptick.
On the other hand, the use of sugar alcohol in the food and beverage sector is likely to fall during the pandemic owing to increased spending on essentials and ready-to-eat foods, while the demand for confectionary and baked goods has slumped.
