Xylitol Market Dynamics
The use of xylitol in nutritional supplement products such as gummies has been a major driving factor in the market's growth. Furthermore, the growing demand for xylitol in food and nutraceutical applications is considered to be a major driving force in the market over the forecast period. Due to the rising incidence rates of several chronic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, and obesity, there has been an increase in customer awareness about calorie consumption. This is a key factor driving the growth of the worldwide xylitol market. Furthermore, buyers are likely to pay more money on sugar substitutes rather than regular sugar, which is fueling global demand for xylitol. Besides that, substitutes such as mannitol and sorbitol are likely to have an impact on the market because they are the least expensive, which may limit the industry's outlook.
Market Segmentation
Market by Form
- Powder
- Liquid
In terms of form, the powder segment will account for more than three-quarters of the xylitol market in 2021. The rising demand for the product in dry powder and crystal form is due to its effectiveness in a variety of applications as well as its ease of availability, handling, and storage. Moreover, for its durability, the powder form is primarily used in the production of chewing gums supplements.
On the other hand, the liquid form segment will capture the fastest-growing segment during the forecasting years. The liquid xylitol is a natural sugar found in fruits, vegetables, milk, and honey that serves as the body's primary source of energy and benefits the nerves and muscles, kidneys, heart muscle, and brain. Furthermore, it contains oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon atoms, as well as a large number of hydroxyl groups. They are simple to combine with proteins and lipids. These liquid xylitol's are useful for short-term power storage and act as building elements in cells like cellulose. Moreover, liquid xylitol helps to reduce total belly and body fat, leaving customers with slim waistlines.
Market by Application
- Chewing Gum
- Personal Care
- Food
- Confectionary
- Nutraceuticals
- Pharmaceuticals
Based on the applications, the personal care segment is projected to expand at the fastest CAGR over the forecasted time periods. Xylitol is a tooth-friendly alternative to conventional sweeteners because it can help prevent dental cavities. Furthermore, xylitol reduces the occurrence of dental caries by enhancing saliva production and pH13 and decreasing the number of fermentable carbohydrates and periodontopathic microbes, xerostomia, plaque levels, gingival inflammation, and tooth erosion. Sugar consumption has recently increased, particularly among children and teens, to 120 kilograms per person per year, or 20 tablespoons of sugar per day. This excessive consumption of sugar has resulted in negative health concerns such as diabetes mellitus and dental caries, as well as increased public and medical and dental professional awareness and understanding of substituting sugar with no sugar sweeteners. As a result, sugar substitutes are effective in weight loss and other health problems.
Market by Downstream Application Potential
- Xylaric Acid
- Glycol
- Propylene Glycol
- Ethylene Glycol
In terms of downstream potential applications, xylaric acid will dominate the market in 2021. Conventionally, nitric acid is used as the oxidant in the production of xylaric acid, resulting in considerable amounts of toxic byproducts such as Nitrous oxide and NO. Growing demands from numerous industries such as textiles, automobiles, plastics, and healthcare should propel the xylaric acid industry forward.
