Xylitol Market

Market Insights

Xylitol, used as a sweetener, is a sugar alcohol. It is found in various plant materials, such as vegetables and fruits. At present, xylitol is commercially extracted from corn cobs and birch wood, and many processes are still in the development stage to extract xylitol from other sources. Xylitol is widely used as a sugar substitute owing to its low-calorie content.

The market for xylitol is mainly driven by weight- and health-conscious consumers. The demand for xylitol is projected to be highest in low-calorie and sugar-free food products. The FDA’s approval of xylitol-based products for medical claims is projected to augment market growth. Imbalances in the supply of raw materials are the major factor hampering the market growth. However, expanding the application scope of xylitol in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical segments will create immense market opportunities for the players.

By application type, the market is segmented into chewing gums, confectionery, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and others. The chewing gum segment accounted for the largest share of market demand in 2015 and is projected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. Xylitol is mainly used in sugar-free chewing gum as it offers flavor, cooling, and sweetness effects. It also finds its application to coat sugar-free gum pellets due to its crystallization and fast drying properties. The confectionery segment accounted for the second-largest share of the market in 2015. Xylitol is used as an alternative to sugar, specifically in the bakery sector. Moreover, rising demand for sugar-free products such as candies, energy bars, and chocolates is projected to boost market demand.

In 2015, Europe accounted for more than 30% of the market in terms of volume and revenue. The region is projected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. The European market is witnessing growth on the back of rising sugar prices and rising health concerns. Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing market due to the rising demand for low-calorie sweeteners. The North American market is projected to witness a moderate growth rate during the forecast period of 2016 to 2023.

The global xylitol market can be categorized on the basis of applications as follows:

• Chewing Gums
• Confectionary
• Personal care products
• Pharmaceuticals
• Nutraceuticals
• Others

Owing to its versatile properties, such as crystallization, low caloric content, and rapid drying, xylitol is mostly used in chewing gums. Xylitol is also used in the manufacturing of products such as hard candies, chocolates, and energy bars targeting diabetic consumers. In 2015, the chewing gum industry accounted for the largest share of the market. The segment accounted for 64.7% of the total demand. In the same year, confectionery applications accounted for the second-largest share of the total demand. These two segments are projected to maintain their dominance during the forecast period of 2016 to 2023.

Xylitol can be used as a sweetener, vitamin, or excipient in tonic syrups due to its non-fermenting property. Furthermore, the U.S. FDA’s approval of xylitol-based products for medical claims will also augment market growth. Therefore, in the future, growth is projected to be highest in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical application segments.

On the basis of geography, the global xylitol market is segmented into the following regions and countries:

• North America
