Growth Opportunities in the Glucose, Dextrose, and Maltodextrin Market

The report "Glucose, Dextrose, and Maltodextrin Market by Product (Glucose, Dextrose, and Maltodextrin), Application (Food & Beverages (Confectionery, Bakery, Dairy), Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care Products, Paper & Pulp), and Region - Global Forecast to 2024", The market for glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin, in terms of value, is estimated at USD 34.47 Billion in 2018, and is projected to reach USD 51.87 Billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 7.0%.

The increase in demand from the beverage industry, intense research & development activities, and increase in demand for convenience foods are expected to drive the demand for glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin in various applications. Glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin are among the major starch derivatives used. Glucose is a sweetener used in a range of food products. It is produced by the hydrolysis of starch. Dextrose is a dextrorotatory form of glucose. It is used in baking products such as cake blends and toppings, snack food items such as cookies, and desserts such as custards and sherbets. Maltodextrin is moderately sweet or flavorless sugar, which is easily digestible and is absorbed as rapidly as glucose.

Rise in demand for beverages is a major driver for the market

Glucose and maltodextrin are widely used as sweeteners. The demand for cereal sweeteners is backed by the development of the soft drinks industry. The demand for soft drinks is rapidly increasing in the developing markets of Asia Pacific and South America. Although juices and aerated drinks can be sweetened by using saccharose sugar or low-calorie syrups, fructose and glucose syrups are generally preferred. This is due to the price effectiveness of glucose syrups and dextrose and technical properties such as enhancement of viscosity and visual appearance of the food items. Furthermore, the demand for maltodextrin is expected to increase over the next six years as it is used as a thickening and filling agent in beverages and is one of the key elements in sports drinks.

Growth in demand for gums as an alternative to glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin is a major restraint

Rise in preference for gums such as gum Arabic, guar gum, xanthan gum and locust bean gum over starch-derived products is emerging as a restraint for the market. It has been analyzed that food & beverages stabilized with sources of gums attain better stability than those with modified starches. Gums are posing a threat to starch derivatives such as glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin 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 foods segment. Along with taste, texture, and stability, gums also provide functional benefits to food & beverage products.

The confectionery products segment is projected to dominate the glucose market for food & beverages through the forecasted period.

Glucose syrup is widely used in the confectionery industry. As it is a doctoring agent, it prevents crystallization, imparting uniformity to the product; in some confectionery applications, it can be used as a necessary ingredient up to the extent of around 40%. It is generally used in the production of homogenous confectionery products such as chewing gums and chocolates. Liquid glucose also has good preservative qualities, imparts a smooth texture to the end product, and enhances the shelf life of the end product. This has led to increased demand for glucose in the confectionery products segment.

The food & beverages segment is projected to dominate the dextrose market through the forecast period.

Dextrose is used as a sweetener and nutritional supplement in the production of various food products such as in candy & gums, creams, bakery products, jarred & canned foods, frozen dairy products, and cured meats. It can also be used in beverages, jelly, jam, and honey for improved taste and quality and extended shelf life. Thus, changes in food habits and inclination toward snacks and desserts, where dextrose is used as an effective sweetening agent, drive the usage of dextrose in the food & beverages segment.
