Global Glucose, Dextrose, and Maltodextrin Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Glucose, Dextrose, and Maltodextrin Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Glucose is the most abundant monosaccharide, a subcategory of carbohydrates. Glucose is mainly made by plants and most algae during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight, where it is used to make cellulose in cell walls, which is the most abundant carbohydrate. The dextrorotatory form of glucose is known as dextrose, which is widely used in baking products such as snacks, cookies, blends, and toppings. Maltodextrin is a flavorless sugar that is quickly absorbed as glucose, and also is easily digestible.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Glucose, Dextrose, and Maltodextrin market finds that the global Glucose, Dextrose, and Maltodextrin market reached a value of USD 39156.87 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 52167.0 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period.

Demand from the pharmaceutical industry has surged in the short term

As the prevention and control of COVID-19 has entered a critical period, the demand for infusion products used to treat patients and prevent and control the epidemic has also increased significantly. In the face of global explosive demand, the market for medicinal anhydrous glucose products is in urgent need. Although companies have overcome many difficulties such as raw materials and transportation to carry out inventory reserves before the shutdown, they still cannot meet the current explosive demand. Therefore, manufacturers of glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin in the pharmaceutical industry will rapidly increase production in the short term.

The epidemic will promote the intelligent digital transformation of production

The factories of some powerful glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin producers have been fully automated. Intelligence and digitization have been the inevitable trends of all manufacturing industries. First of all, the COVID-19 will promote the automation and flexible production of the glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin industry. More companies will hire more high-tech talents and high-skilled, multi-skilled workers, reduce dependence on labor, and better respond to labor changes. At the same time, the standardization of parts and components, the intelligentization of logistics, and the strengthening of the anti-risk ability of the supply chain will also receive more and more recognition. Secondly, after the epidemic, the in-depth application of digital technology in the glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin industry can help improve employee collaboration efficiency, grasp the key elements that promote business growth, respond to changes in market demand more efficiently, and achieve product innovation; The remote intelligent service based on the industrial Internet, through AR, AI and other technologies for remote guidance, to troubleshoot the operation status monitoring of glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin production equipment, can effectively improve production efficiency and reduce production costs.

Excessive intake of glucose, dextrose and maltodextrin will endanger health

If you consume too little glucose, your body will lose power. However, excessive consumption of foods containing glucose, dextrose and maltodextrin can lead to side effects such as weight gain, high cholesterol and diabetes. Diabetes is a serious chronic disease and an important public health problem. In the past few decades, the number of cases and prevalence of diabetes have steadily increased. In people with diabetes, excess glucose, dextrose and maltodextrin will remain in the blood and may damage many parts of the body, such as arteries and nerves, and seriously affect human health. This is an important factor hindering the growth of the global market.

Consumer health awareness and disposable income is growing

The use of glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin in dietary supplements provide benefits such as immune support, prevention of bacterial and viral infections, digestive comfort, and brain function support. Increasing healthcare costs, lifestyle changes, and the growth of the elderly population are the main drivers of the food supplement industry, and consumer health awareness and disposable incomes are driving this trend. With the development of the food supplement industry, it is expected to promote the market size of glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin.

Increasing focus on the development of cost-effective production techniques

Increasing focus on the development of cost-effective production techniques has opened avenues for innovation in the glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin area which is expected to create growth opportunities in the glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin market for the industry players. This area has a lot of scope for improvement and innovation, as no such cost-effective technique is available in the market to date. Hence, manufacturers can attain a competitive edge in the market through innovation and technological advancement.

Segmentation Overview:

Among different product types, Glucose segment is anticipated to contribute the largest market share in 2028.

Glucose

Glucose is the main type of sugar in the blood and is the major source of energy for the body's cells. Glucose comes from the foods people eat or the body can make it from other substances. Glucose is carried to the cells through the bloodstream. Several hormones, including insulin, control glucose levels in the blood.

Dextrose

Dextrose is the name of a simple sugar that is made from corn and is chemically identical to glucose, or blood sugar. Dextrose is often used in baking products as a sweetener, and can be commonly found in items such as processed foods and corn syrup.
Dextrose also has medical purposes. It is dissolved in solutions that are given intravenously, which can be combined with other drugs, or used to increase a person’s blood sugar.

Maltodextrin

Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide that is used as a food additive. It is produced from vegetable starch by partial hydrolysis and is usually found as a white hygroscopic spray-dried powder. Maltodextrin is easily digestible, being absorbed as rapidly as glucose and may be either moderately sweet or almost flavorless.

Application Overview:

By application, the Food & Beverages segment occupied the biggest share from 2018 to 2022.
