Global Xylitol Market By Form (Liquid and Powder), By Application (Confectionery, Chewing Gum, Oral Care, Bakery & Other Foods, and Other Applications), By Region and Companies - Industry Segment Outlook, Market Assessment, Competition Scenario, Trends and Forecast 2023-2032

Xylitol Market Overview:

The global xylitol industry was valued at USD 942.9 million in 2021. It is expected to expand at a 3.7% CAGR from 2023 to 2032.

Xylitol can stimulate the sweet taste receptors on the tongue. It is naturally found in small amounts in many fruits, vegetables, and other foods. Xylitol a white, crystalline powder has a similar sweetness to regular sugar, but 40% fewer calories. It can also be produced by industrial processes where a plant fiber, called xylan, is converted into xylitol. Consumed, xylitol lowers salivary bacteria levels which can lead to tooth decay. Additionally, it fights some bacteria that can cause ear infections.

Global Xylitol Market Analysis:

Form Analysis

According to form, the market is divided into powder and liquid. The global xylitol market was led by the powdered form segment in 2021, with a greater than 92% revenue share. Powder form has a high demand due to its effectiveness in many applications, easy handling, storage ability, and accessibility. Due to its durability, powder form is used mainly in the manufacture of chewing gums. Because it contains less water or none at all, it increases the product’s shelf life. Due to the low cost of liquid product forms, the liquid segment will see the highest CAGR between 2023-2032.

Application Analysis

The segment of oral care applications is expected to grow at 4.8% between 2023 and 2032. It lowers the risk of tooth decay by increasing salivary flow and pH and inhibiting the growth and spread of bacteria. This is why the oral health segment will grow significantly in the future.

Xylitol contains 40% fewer calories than regular sugar. A teaspoon of sugar has 16 calories while a teaspoon of xylitol has only 9.6 calories. Due to its pleasant cooling effects, it is used in the manufacturing of chewing gum as a sugar replacement. It is widely available in Europe, America, and Asia as chewing gums. There are mints and lozenges, and candies. It can also be used in sauces, condiments, and nutraceuticals.

Market Dynamics:

The market will be driven by the increasing demand for xylitol through food and nutraceutical applications. Natural sweetener, crystalline xylitol has low calories and is found in fibrous foods and hardwoods. It is the only sugar with the same sweetness as sucrose. It can either be obtained from polysaccharides-rich plant sources by chemical or enzyme hydrolysis. It is most commonly produced at an industrial scale by chemical processes that are based on catalytic xylose dehydrogenation. This process is costly and energy-intensive, but it also poses a risk to the environment because of the use of toxic catalysts and high-pressure hydrogen gases.

A rise in demand for low-calorie ingredients and foods is expected to cause an increase in product demand in the United States. In the U.S., product demand is being driven by the growing awareness about natural products that play an important role in general healthcare management. The U.S. is one of the largest producers of xylitol. To increase their market, share in the U.S. market, producers have been targeting potential applications in industries like nutraceuticals and cosmetics & personal.

Different microorganisms, such as yeast, bacteria, and fungi, are used during the enzyme process. This creates a more sustainable environment. Because it is a low glycemic sugar sweetener, it can be used as a food additive in confectionery and bakeries as well as in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. For the commercial production of xylose, corn cobs are most frequently used. Birch barks are also a common raw material. Producing xylose from corncob is cheaper than sourcing it from birch tree trees. Therefore, the price for xylitol made from corncob is generally lower than that from birch tree trees.

Hydrolysis of corncob biomass is done using hydrochloric acids. However, hydrolysis in birch bark requires the use of sulfuric acid. The quality of Xylitol made from corn cob is pharmaceutical-grade. It is also subject to strict compliance. However, birch bark-sourced products are considered to be food-grade. North American manufacturers rely on birch bark for their key raw materials due to the abundant birch trees. China uses corn cobs for its major xylan supply.

Regional Analysis:

The Asia Pacific was the world’s largest market in 2021, accounting for 41%. China is the world’s largest producer of xylitol. In the same region, India, China, and Thailand are the most frequent consumers. It is a versatile sweetener, widely used in nutraceuticals, chewing gums, and diabetic food. China is the largest exporter in the world. China is the largest export destination in the world, with the U.S., Europe India, and other South Asian countries being the top three. Europe is expected to experience a 4.2% CAGR over the forecast period. Finland is the leading producer in the Europe regional market. Finland exports the majority of its xylitol to European countries. Europe is expected to see a rise in demand for low-calorie foods by health-conscious consumers over the forecast period.
