Dextrose Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing usage of dextrose in functional beverages and health drinks
The growth of the beverage industry is mainly attributed to the rising health awareness regarding healthy lifestyles and diets. In addition, companies are focusing more on energy drinks that improve immunity to fight the deadly virus. Furthermore, according to a news article published by Outlook India in July 2020, the demand for energy drinks increased as they would act as immune boosters to fight COVID-19. According to a report from the Beverage Industry (Magazine) 2022, as the carbonated soft drink (CSD) market experiences rising customer demand for functional beverages, CSD production is likely to increase by continuing to develop new products with healthier ingredients and new flavor innovations. According to Varun Beverages’ 2018 annual report, India’s soft drink consumption is comparatively low at 44 bottles per capita, compared to matured countries like the US (1,496 bottles), Mexico (1,489 bottles), and Germany (1,221 bottles), as well as developing markets like Brazil (537 bottles). According to a report from Tridge 2022, soft drink prices in the US have skyrocketed in the last three years due to high production costs. Despite the price increase, the demand for soft drinks in the US remains strong. The fact that only two main players are responsible for the majority of the products on the market does not help either. As a result, consumer elasticities are performing better than expected, with sales increasing despite rising costs. Sparkling soft drinks increased by 8% in Q3 2022, while Coke and Coke Zero increased by 7% and 12%, respectively. The growth of the beverage industry has favorably influenced the growth of the dextrose market. Dextrose syrup is used as a sweetener in aerated and non-aerated drinks; it provides taste, texture, and required energy for the human body.
Restraint: Growth in demand for gums as alternative to dextrose
Gums pose a threat to starch derivatives such as dextrose in various food & beverage segments, where they are utilized to prevent sugar crystallization as well. The increase in preference for gums may restrain the usage of starch derivatives in the food segment. Along with taste, texture, and stability, gums provide functional benefits to food & beverage products. The demand for natural gums, such as acacia gums, is increasing significantly as it is considered 100% natural and GMO-free and can replace sugar with the same texture and binding properties, which have the potential to influence health-conscious consumers to opt for this product. Natural gums or hydrocolloids are polysaccharides that contain numerous hydroxyl groups and can increase the viscosity of a solution. Natural gums have numerous advantages over synthetic polymers, including the fact that they are biodegradable, non-toxic, economical, and readily available in the environment. They are used as thickening agents, clarifying agents, gelling agents, emulsifying agents, and stabilizers, among other applications. The majority of natural gums are derived from plant woody elements, seed coatings, and seaweed. In 2020, Alland & Robert, a French acacia gum major, announced plans to invest USD 12.54 million at its Normandy plant to increase the capacity by around 9,000 tons per year, bringing total annual production to close to 30,000 tons.
Opportunity: Potential alternative sources of dextrose
Corn and wheat have been the major sources of starch for various food and industrial applications. Initially, the abundant supply of these agriculturally has negated the requirement to develop any alternate sources. However, the US ethanol policy and the growing demand for wheat as a raw material for biofuel generation in European countries have indirectly posed problems for the dextrose market. The availability of corn primarily exported by the US, and wheat, Europe’s prime starch commodity, is expected to decrease owing to the ethanol policies in these regions. This, coupled with the increasing demand for dextrose across various sectors, necessitates the need to tap other sources of starch.
Cassava is one of the sources which has already been addressed. Although it has been in the market for some time and has been extensively introduced into the industry, the full potential is yet to be tapped. Some of the other untapped sources of dextrose are rice, yam, and tubers, which are abundantly found in Asia, Africa, South America, and Oceania. Bean starch is an example of an untapped source for food applications, which needs focus and presents an opportunity for innovation in the dextrose industry. Bean starch, if modified, may help improve the quality of fresh, gluten-free bread. It has been known to boost its elasticity, potentially offering better texture in the final loaf. Such findings could lead to enhanced products for the already blossoming gluten-free food market
Challenge: Alternative uses of corn in ethanol industry
Corn is one of the major sources for producing dextrose. The kernel of corn is made up of four main components: starch, fiber, oil, and protein, processed in different ways to be used in all kinds of products. Corn has alternative uses and is used in multiple industries other than starch, creating a major challenge for the dextrose manufacturers. From the total corn production, a major percentage of it is used for ethanol production. According to the data of the USDA, in 2019, the total corn production was 13.66 billion bushels, and 5.38 billion bushels of corn were used for ethanol production. The Crop Production report 2022 issued by USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) forecasted corn production went down from 2021. Corn production is down 5% from 2021, forecast at 14.4 billion bushels. Average corn yield is forecast at 175.4 bushels per acre, down 1.6 bushels from 2021. The other major alternative use of corn is in the feed industry.
The anhydrous type dominated the dextrose market and is projected to have the fastest market growth during the forecast period.
Dextrose anhydrous demand is expanding globally due to its long shelf-life and sweet taste. It is often produced in crystalline form, making it simple to use, store, and transport. Dextrose anhydrous can be utilized as a fermentable carbohydrate source to reduce calories in beverages such as energy drinks and low-calorie beer products. Also can be found in cosmetic products such as bath products, cleansing products, eye make-up, skin care products, make-up, and hair care products. Because of its numerous applications, the dextrose anhydrous market is likely to grow in popularity among consumers and industries.
The food & beverage segment by application is estimated to account for the largest market share in the global Dextrose market.
Dextrose is extensively used in confectionery, marmalade, and jellies because it improves the aroma and flavor of the fruit. Dextrose is also used in confectionery to enhance (fruity) flavors, provide a little cooling effect, and balance sweetness. Dextrose is utilized in the bakery industry because yeast reacts faster on dextrose than on sucrose. Confectionery manufacturers worldwide are using dextrose as an alternative to sucrose. Because of these additional benefits, dextrose has actively opened a large growth opportunity in the food and beverage sectors. The growth of the dextrose market is proportionally dependent on the growth of the convenience food industry. The demand for dextrose is anticipated to increase in the Asia Pacific region, owing to its growing application in convenience foods, in countries such as China, India, and Japan.
The solid form of the by dextrose is projected to attain the fastest market growth in Dextrose market over the forecast period.
Because of its ease of storage and transportation, the solid form of dextrose is expected to have the largest market share. One of the key factors driving demand for the solid form of dextrose is growing awareness of syrup storage and handling issues.
Asia Pacific is projected to account for the largest share in the Dextrose market during the forecast period.
