Industry Definition and Segmentation

High fructose corn syrup also called glucose-fructose, is a sweetener manufactured from cornflour and a few of its glucose content gets converted to fructose which is utilised in the production of foods and soft drinks commercially as a less costly substitute for sucrose. High fructose corn syrup has been defined as a safe ingredient for applying in food and beverage products by the US Food and Drug Administration. This sweetener is prominently used in the food industry as an alternative to sucrose. The global high fructose corn syrup industry report comprises segments based on applications (food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and animal feed) and regions (Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa).

The North America Region is Driving the Growth of the Industry

Owing to the increasing demand for high fructose corn syrup in the United States, North America has become the biggest consumer of the product. This high level of demand is primarily because of its extensive utilisation in the confectionery, bakery, and beverage industries, specifically soft drink production. The most popularly used types of high fructose corn syrup in the United State are the HFCS 42 (used in processed foods, cereals, beverages, and baked goods), HFCS 55 & HFCS 65 (utilised in soft drinks), and HFCS 70 (utilised in filling jellies). Moreover, the American manufacturers have increased their exports of the sweetener during the early 21st century.

Due to the varied usage of high fructose syrup as a sweetener in multiple food and beverage products such as bakery items, confectionery, and carbonated soft drinks and at times as a preservative in pickles, the market is witnessing considerable growth. Also, since the sweetener has a comparatively competitive price over the other kinds, has superior solubility and the capability to stay in the solution without forming crystals unlike commonly used table sugar has helped in propelling the global market. Other than food and beverages producers, firms from pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals also have a huge demand for high fructose corn syrup.

However, the developing lifestyle and increasing health awareness amongst the consumers have negatively affected the high fructose corn syrup market. Furthermore, the growth in diabetes and obesity rates linked to the consumption of high-calorie sweeteners such as high fructose corn syrup has encouraged the consumers to move towards low or zero-calorie sweeteners such as stevia leading to its low sales in the market globally.
