What Are the Critical Driver Fuelling The Powdered Sugar Market's Growth?
The powdered sugar market is anticipated to expand due to the escalating demand for dairy food. Dairy products, which can be either liquid or non-edible and are derived or extracted from the milk of mammals like cows, goats, ewes or water buffalos, benefit greatly from the addition of powdered sugar. This is due to the appealing texture, increased fluffiness, and delicious taste that the sugar provides to dairy and bakery goods, resulting in a rising demand for it. For example, Farm Credit East, an agricultural-focused financial institution based in the US, reported in March 2023 a projected average milk price of around $20.50 per hundredweight for 2023, backed by consistent consumer demand and restrained supply growth. The report further revealed an expected growth of just 0.3% for the U.S. milk production year-over-year, whilst feed costs rose by 25%, affecting the profit margins of dairy farmers. Consequently, the growth of the powdered sugar market is being propelled by the increasing demand for dairy food.

What New Trends Are Influencing The Powdered Sugar Market?
The advent of technological advancements has been identified as a significant trend in the powdered sugar industry. Major firms in this sector are concentrating on innovating fresh methods to maintain their market prominence. Illustratively, in March 2022, Cargill, a food corporation from the US, introduced the EverSweet + ClearFlo Stevia Platform incorporating clearflo technology that enhances stevia. This blend has the potential to intensify taste, solubility, stability of formulation, and quickness of dissolution. Owing to EverSweet's swift onset of sweetness and strong sweetness potency, this platform is likely to deliver a sensation more akin to that of sugar, particularly in high concentrations. This novel sweetening method could also assist in lessening odd flavors in a formula, such as bitter coffee flavors, earthy notes of protein, or metallic tastes from potassium chloride.
