The corn syrup market is segmented into Type, Application and Distribution Channel.
Corn syrup is produced by hydrolyzing the cornstarch either by heating the cornstarch with diluted acid or by adding enzymes to the cornstarch. Corn syrup is extensively used in the production of jams & jellies, baked food, and various other foods such as dairy products, confectioneries, and beverages. The demand for corn syrup is expected to grow significantly in the food & beverages industry, owing to increase in demand for sweeteners in different processed foods. Corn syrup is not crystallized under certain conditions and it has higher solubility. Moreover, it is cheaper than sugar, and it act as a preservative that extends the shelf life of food & beverages. Thus, multiple benefits associated with corn syrup are boosting its adoption in the global food & beverages industry. In addition, rise in demand for processed food across developed and developing nations due to expansion of penetration of quick service restaurants chains & fast food chains as well as rise in consumption of ready-to-drink beverages fuel the growth of the market.
The global corn syrup market growth is further driven by exponential increase in global population, rise in disposable income, rapid urbanization, changes in food habits, and surge in demand for packaged food. According to the United Nations, the global population in 2020 was estimated at 7.7 billion, and is expected to reach at 9.7 billion by 2050. The rising population is expected to create a huge pressure on the supply of food & beverages globally, and hence the demand for the corn syrup is anticipated to increase for the production of various food & beverages items. Moreover, surge in adoption of corn syrup solids in the manufacturing of powdered drink mixes is boosting the growth of the market significantly. In addition, rise in adoption of corn syrup solids and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in the pharmaceuticals industry for producing various drugs is significantly driving the market growth. However, increase in prevalence of diabetes and other diseases due to growing consumption of sweeteners and rise in health consciousness among consumers adversely impact the growth of the global corn syrup market.
The corn syrup market is segmented into type, application, distribution channel, and region. On the basis of type, the market is segregated into light syrup, dark syrup, corn syrup solids, and HFCS. Depending on application, it is categorized into food & beverages and pharmaceuticals. By distribution channel, it is divided into B2B and B2C. Region wise, it is analyzed across North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, France, UK, Italy, Spain, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and rest of LAMEA).
[TYPEGRAPH]
Depending on type, the HFCS segment accounted for 82.2% of the corn syrup market share in 2021. This growth is attributable to huge demand for HFCS among the food & beverages and the pharmaceutical industries for the production of numerous products. However, the light corn syrup segment is expected to register the highest CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period.
[APPLICATIONGRAPH]
As per the global corn syrup market forecast, on the basis of application, the pharmaceuticals segment is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to surge in adoption of HFCS and corn syrup solids in the production of various tablet and capsule forms of medications. This is attributed to the fact that corn syrup allows the drugs to breakdown into smaller fragments and helps in absorption. Thus, rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry due alarming rise in prevalence of diseases is expected to drive the growth of this segment.
[DISTRIBUTIONCHANNELGRAPH]
By distribution channel, the B2C is expected to dominate the market, due to rise in penetration of the online grocery delivery platforms across the globe. In addition, the manufacturers of corn syrup are emphasizing on their marketing strategies to stimulate a number of people for buying corn syrups. The various B2C channels such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, convenience stores, and other retail stores provides a huge customer base that may help the corn syrup manufacturers to tap into the households and allow them to generate huge revenues apart from the B2B channels.
[REGIONGRAPH]
Region wise, North America dominated the global market in 2021 with highest revenue share, owing to the fact that the U.S. is the highest producer and consumer of corn syrup. This is attributed to huge demand for processed food, confectioneries, baked food, and ready-to-drink beverages in the U.S. Moreover, abundant availability of corn as raw material for corn syrup production is major benefit for regional manufacturers of corn syrup.
The key players operating in the global corn syrup industry are constantly engaged in strategic developments such as partnerships, joint ventures, acquisition, and mergers to exploit the prevailing corn syrup market opportunities. Business expansion has emerged as a key strategy among the market players to strengthen their position and achieve growth in the long term.
