The global market for Sugar Alcohol was valued at US$ 5638 million in the year 2024 and is projected to reach a revised size of US$ 7425 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period.
Sugar alcohols, also known as polyols, are organic compounds derived from carbohydrates, characterized by the presence of hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to their carbon backbone. Unlike traditional sugars, sugar alcohols are partially absorbed by the body, resulting in lower caloric content and a reduced impact on blood glucose levels. Common examples include sorbitol, xylitol, erythritol, and maltitol, which are either naturally occurring in fruits and vegetables or synthetically produced through hydrogenation of sugars. Due to their sweetness, which ranges from 25% to 100% that of sucrose, and their non-cariogenic nature, sugar alcohols are widely used as sugar substitutes in various industries.
The global sugar alcohol market is growing steadily, driven by increasing consumer demand for low-calorie and sugar-free products. Key players in the market include companies like Cargill, Roquette Frères, and Ingredion, which are focusing on expanding their product portfolios and production capacities to meet rising demand. The Asia-Pacific region dominates the market with a share of approximately 40%, fueled by growing awareness of health benefits and the expanding food and beverage industry in countries such as China and India. North America and Europe follow closely, supported by regulatory approvals and a strong emphasis on health-conscious consumer behavior.
One of the primary drivers of the sugar alcohol market is the rising prevalence of diabetes and obesity, which has led to an increased preference for sugar substitutes in food and beverages. Among product types, erythritol and xylitol are experiencing significant growth due to their superior sweetness profiles and compatibility with low-glycemic and keto diets. The personal care and pharmaceutical sectors also contribute to market expansion, as sugar alcohols are used in oral care products like toothpaste and in medicinal syrups as sweetening agents. Sustainable production and innovations, such as plant-based and bio-sourced sugar alcohols, are emerging as key trends. As health and wellness trends continue to shape consumer choices, the sugar alcohol market is expected to grow, with a focus on functional and environmentally friendly solutions.
