Global Brown Sugar Market

US$35.2 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 10.04 % during forecast period 2022-2027.
Brown sugar is a form of sugar that still contains some molasses. Molasses is entirely eliminated
from traditional white sugar. However, leaving some molasses in the sugar makes it more affordable
and nutrient-dense because molasses is healthier for the body than simple sugar. The food and
beverage sector's recent steady expansion has been a major driver of the worldwide brown sugar
market, which is expected to rise significantly in the years to come.
Market Drivers
The growth of the food and beverage industries is advancing the global brown sugar market. There
are several food-related uses for brown sugar, including dairy, baking, and other uses. As disposable
incomes have expanded in developed economies, there is a greater demand for upscale consumer
goods like bakery goods, which has enhanced their relevance to the food and beverage industry. The
bread industry prefers brown sugar over regular sugar due to its hygroscopic properties and the
presence of molasses, which is expected to increase demand for brown sugar in the near future.
Market Restraint
Due to consumers' growing demands for sugar-free goods and their increasing concerns over health
issues including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, the market for brown sugar is predicted to see
growth restrictions. The World Health Organization (WHO) also recommends that adults and
children keep their sugar intake to no more than 10% of total calorie intake, which reduces the
demand for brown sugar globally. The existence of alternatives on the market is expected to hinder
overall market expansion over the anticipated period in addition to the other limitations.
COVID-19 Impact on Brown Sugar Market
The market for brown sugar was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic. The lockdown
hurt global production and made trade uncertainty and the present manufacturing slump worse. The

harming global output, the lockout increased trade ambiguity and the current manufacturing
downturn. The pandemic had relatively little impact on the food and beverage industry's operations,
but it severely interrupted its global supply chain, which impeded future expansion. The global
demand for brown sugar was impacted by the closure of the commercial and industrial sectors.
