Advancements in biotechnological processes, such as microbial fermentation and enzymatic bioconversion, have significantly improved sugar alcohol production globally. Enhanced yeast and bacterial strains enable higher-yield, low-waste conversion of glucose and xylose into polyols such as erythritol and xylitol. Countries such as Japan and the European Union, with a focus on green chemistry, have heavily invested in these technologies, boosting adoption in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

According to Markets and Data Research report, “Sugar Alcohol Market Assessment, Opportunities and Forecast, 2017–2031F”, the global sugar alcohol market was valued at USD 2.51 billion in 2023 and is expected to register a CAGR of 5.11% during the forecast period. The market is primarily driven by increasing health consciousness and consumer demand for healthier alternatives to sugar. Rising concerns about obesity, diabetes, and dental health have led to greater adoption of sugar alcohols, which offer lower calorie content and minimal impact on blood sugar levels. Additionally, the growing popularity of low-carb and keto diets, which focuses on reducing sugar intake, is fueling the demand for sugar alcohol in various food and beverage products.

The growing number of diabetic patients is driving food and beverage manufacturers to seek alternative sugar-based products. According to the International Diabetes Federation Atlas, 10.5% of adults are living with diabetes, a figure projected to rise by 46% to 783 million by 2045. With over 90% of these individuals affected by type 2 diabetes, driven by factors such as urbanization, aging populations, and rising obesity rates, the need for safe sugar substitutes has never been greater. The pharmaceutical industry contributes to market growth, using sugar alcohols in diabetic-friendly medications and oral care products. Additionally, the clean-label trend, technological advancements in production, and the rising popularity of convenience foods support market expansion, further solidifying the role of sugar alcohols in the global food and beverage market.

Based on product type, Sorbitol was the largest contributor with a 36.83% market share in 2023. Sorbitol, a well-known sugar substitute, is widely used in the production of sweets, oral care products, and medicines. The growing consumer awareness of its benefits, alongside its increasing acceptance across multiple industries and the rising prevalence of diabetes, are expected to significantly boost the segment’s revenue in the market. Meanwhile, Xylitol has gained popularity due to its visual and taste similarities to sucrose. Commonly used in dental care products, Xylitol helps reduce cavities by being non-fermentable, which inhibits the growth and reproduction of cavity-causing bacteria in the mouth.

Based on region, Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.37% from 2023 to 2031 where key countries such as China, Japan, and India are driving the market expansion. China and India are major producers of sugar alcohol, with numerous manufacturers operating in the region. The rising prevalence of obesity and diabetes is fueling the demand for sugar alternatives, with projections indicating that China, India, and Pakistan will have the highest diabetes rates, estimated at 147, 134, and 37 million cases, respectively, by 2045. This health crisis has significantly increased the demand for low-calorie sweeteners such as sorbitol, xylitol, and erythritol. Additionally, leading food and beverage manufacturers in the region often prefer sourcing sugar alcohol from local suppliers to support the growth of the domestic market.
