Isoglucose Market is predicted to reach USD 13.46 billion at a CAGR of 1.96% during the forecast period

Market Research Future (MRFR) has published a cooked research report on the “global Isoglucose Market” that contains the information from 2018 to 2030.

Isoglucose Market Highlights

A sweetener manufactured from maize starch, high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is also referred to as glucose-fructose, isoglucose, and glucose-fructose syrup.Enzymes change the starch in the starch into glucose, making the process resemble the production of conventional corn syrup. D-xylose isomerase is used to refine the corn syrup further so that some of the glucose can be converted to fructose to create HFCS.

Using enzymes, starch is broken down into glucose to create high fructose corn syrup, which is then processed to turn some of the glucose into fructose. The advantages of HFCS over sugar include a longer shelf life, lower cost, a lower freezing point, and an improvement in flavour and texture. HFCS comes with two different variants; 'HFCS 42' comes with 42% fructose Distribution channel and 'HFCS 55' comes with 55% Distribution channel and the rest being glucose and water in the liquid.

Market Synopsis

According to the MRFR analysis, the global Isoglucose market is projected to reach USD 13.46 Billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 1.96%.

High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is a widely used sweetener that is commonly found in many processed foods and beverages. It is made from corn starch and is used as a substitute for sugar in many food products. HFCS has also found applications in the pharmaceutical industry, where it is used as a stabilizer and a binder in various medications.Using HFCS instead of sugar has the advantage of reducing sugar consumption in the food and beverage sector.  Since HFCS 55 is less expensive than sucrose and has a greater fructose concentration with the same relative sweetness as sucrose, it can readily be used in place of sucrose in the production of soft drinks. HFCS 42 is mostly utilised in foods and morning cereals because it has a lower fructose concentration and a lower relative sweetness. Because it provides nutrients as a source of carbohydrates and a bulk sweetener, HFCS is also employed in the pharmaceutical sector. It can also be used in nutraceutical and oral dosage forms including syrups, suspensions as well as liquids.

In the pharmaceutical industry, HFCS is used as a binder and a stabilizer in various medications. It helps to keep the active ingredients in the medication stable and prevents them from degrading over time. HFCS is also used in the production of cough syrups and other liquid medications. The global market for HFCS is expected to grow in the coming years, driven by the increased demand from the food and pharmaceutical industries. The growth of the food industry in developing countries, along with the rising demand for convenience foods, is expected to drive the demand for HFCS in the food industry. In the pharmaceutical industry, the increasing demand for generic drugs is expected to boost the demand for HFCS as a binder and a stabilizer.

COVID-19 Impact on Isoglucose Market

COVID-19 negatively impacted the market in 2020. The worldwide pandemic has had an effect on how high-fructose corn syrup is supposed to work everywhere. People prioritised health and wellness as a result of the epidemic, which encouraged customers to reduce the amount of sugar, calories, salt, and carbs in food and beverage goods. Food and beverage producers have responded to consumer demand by creating low- and no-sugar products, which has hurt the high-fructose corn syrup business. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the global isoglucose market, which is also known as high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) market. HFCS is a sweetener that is widely used in the food and beverage industry as a cheaper alternative to sugar.

Competitive Landscape

The global Isoglucose market is fragmented and consists of some organized and unorganized industry players. To outperform competitors, manufacturers primarily concentrate on increasing production capabilities, launching new products on a regular basis, and working with important stakeholders. Key players ADM, Sudzucker Group, Ingredion Incorporated, Agrana, Tata & Lyle, Cargill and Novozymes.

Segmentation

By Type

• HFCS-42: The high fructose corn syrup industry in the US has faced increasing competition from other countries, which has led to a decline in domestic demand. US exports of HFCS have increased as a result, but this has not been enough to offset the overall decline in consumption. There has been an increase in the availability of substitutes for HFCS-42, including natural sweeteners, as well as artificial sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, and saccharin. This has made it easier for food and beverage manufacturers to find alternative sweeteners to use in their products.


• HFCS-55: HFCS 55 contains 55% fructose. High-fructose corn syrup 55, which is frequently added to soft drinks, is about 25% sweeter than regular sugar. Because of its increased sweetness, less is frequently needed. The most widely used variety of high-fructose corn syrup is HFCS 55. Fructose levels in HFCS 55 are somewhat greater than those in ordinary sugar. HFCS-55 is also less expensive than some other sweeteners, such as sugar, which has made it a preferred option for some food and beverage manufacturers.

These distributors may offer a range of isoglucose products from different manufacturers and may also provide additional services such as storage, transportation, and logistics.


• Trading platforms: There are also online trading platforms that connect buyers and sellers of isoglucose. These platforms allow buyers to search for suppliers and compare prices, quantities, and other terms before making a purchase.


• Offline: Offline channel usually includes food ingredient supplier, direct sales, specialty distributors and many more.


• Food Ingredient Suppliers: Many companies specialize in supplying food ingredients, including sweeteners like Isoglucose, to food and beverage manufacturers. These suppliers typically have established relationships with manufacturers and can provide consistent, high-quality products.


• Direct Sales: Some Isoglucose manufacturers may choose to sell their products directly to customers, bypassing intermediaries like wholesalers and ingredient suppliers. This can allow manufacturers to establish closer relationships with customers and potentially offer more competitive pricing.


• Specialty Distributors: There are also specialty distributors that focus specifically on sweeteners and other food ingredients. These distributors may offer a wider range of sweetener options than general food ingredient suppliers.

By Application

• Food: In recent years, there has been a growing demand for natural and healthier sweeteners, which has led to a decline in the use of Isoglucose. However, it is still widely used in the food industry, especially in processed foods. In bakery applications, Isoglucose is often used as a sweetener in bread, cakes, and pastries. It can also be used as a binder in doughs and batters, as well as a humectant to keep baked goods moist. In desserts, Isoglucose is commonly used in products like ice cream, puddings, and fruit fillings. It can also be used as a sweetener in beverages such as sodas, energy drinks, and sports drinks. In terms of the Isoglucose market, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to see significant growth due to the increasing demand for processed foods and beverages. North America and Europe are also expected to see steady growth in the Isoglucose market.


• Beverages: Due of high-fructose corn syrup's capacity to give liquids the appearance of increased sweetness, consumption has increased dramatically along with this rise. PepsiCo is one of the businesses that uses fructose. A&W Concentrate Company, Jones Soda Co., Tropicana Products, Inc., Darigold, The Coca-Cola Company, Kraft Foods, Inc., etc. Juices and soft drinks are two common beverages that contain HFCS. Along with producers of food and beverages, businesses in the medicines and nutraceuticals industries have demonstrated a great interest in HFSC. For instance, the HI-SWEET 55 high fructose corn syrup produced by Roquette Frères, a French company, can be used in syrups, suspensions, and liquids for pharmaceutical and/or nutraceutical products.

By Region

• North America: In the upcoming years, the high fructose corn syrup business in North America is anticipated to expand significantly. The Generally Recognised as Safe (GRAS) designation for HFCS is given by the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA). Because the United States is one of the world's top maize producers, maize is readily available and reliable for the manufacturing of HFCS. The majority of American food and beverage manufacturers have adopted HFCS due to its greater stability when compared to granulated sugar. The extensive use of HFCS in a range of ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages is anticipated to have a positive impact on the growth of HFCS in the area, as will the rising popularity of RTD beverages among consumers.


• Europe: France is a major market for food sweeteners due to its wine and baking sectors. Fruit preserves, jam, dry fruit, fruit juices, fruit wines, pastries, bread, yoghurt, dairy goods, oral liquids, cold beverages, French sauces, condiments, and salad dressings all contain HFCS. Particularly among young people, soda, cola, and fruit drinks with added sugar consumption has increased while milk consumption has dropped. The development in lifestyle diseases like diabetes and obesity has correlated with changing drinking patterns. The customer interest in functional beverages has altered as a result of excessive sugar or artificial sweeteners.


• Asia-Pacific: Corn syrup is becoming more and more popular in China because it costs around one-third less than genuine sugar made from sugarcane or sugar beets. It helps preserve texture in canned and baked goods, encourages regulated browning in baked goods and breakfast cereals, keeps stability in temperature changes, and blends easily with other ingredients. However, because to the various processing stages involved in its synthesis, HFCS is classified as a synthetic sweetener.


• Rest of the World: South American soft beverages, fruit juices, yoghurt, and bread all commonly include the sweetener and ingredient HFCS. Brazil continues to favour refined sugar. Demand is anticipated to rise during the projected period due to rising disposable income. Foods with HFCS have a lower freezing point, breakfast bars and bran cereals stay moist, fruits and spices taste better, and surface browning is promoted. Brazil uses sugar to manufacture ethanol, unlike the US and Mexico. Most sugar to maize pricing ratios in Brazil are under 1, but they are over 5 in the US. For the production of ethanol, Brazil would pick sugar over corn, because nearly all sweeteners are made from sugar. Because of this, Arabians in the Middle East and Africa have adapted western consuming habits and diets. Due to the region's extreme heat, more carbonated drinks and other fortified sweetened beverages are consumed, increasing the need for HFCS nationwide. The two biggest beverage companies in the nation are Pepsi and Coca-Cola. The demand for HFCS, a fermentable sugar, sweetener, and humectant, has surged due to Arab consumers' love of baked products. In bread, buns, rolls, and yeast-raised donuts, it ferments, lowering costs and raising profits. Profits for food and beverage businesses increased as a result of Cargill Inc.'s strategic expansion plan. Players also utilise product innovation to grow the industry.
