• The market size of sugarcane syrup is expected to witness robust growth in the upcoming years. The market is projected to reach a significant value of "$65 billion by 2029 with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.2%.
The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be credited to the increasing demand for natural sweeteners, the diversification witnessed in the beverage sector, accentuated marketing focusing on authenticity, a blend of global cuisines, environment-friendly and clean packaging, and the surge in e-commerce. Some prominent trends during the forecast period include out-of-the-box product formulations, commitment to clean labelling and transparency, variety in product offerings, ethical and sustainable sourcing, and innovative approaches to packaging.
The growth of the sugarcane syrup market is predicted to be propelled by the rising consumption of beverages. A beverage, which can refer to any liquid consumed by humans such as water, tea, coffee, milk, juice, soft drinks, and alcohol, commonly features sugarcane syrup as a sweetener. This is particularly true in the case of beverages like soft drinks, energy drinks, and sports drinks, and as demand for these beverages increases, so too does the demand for sugarcane syrup used in their production. Illustrating this point, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) reported in October 2023 that 2022 saw exports of processed food and beverage products reach a record-breaking $54.3 billion, a 14.1% increase from 2021. These exports accounted for 34.7% of the total production value. Hence, the rising consumption of beverages is predicted to boost the sugarcane syrup market.
