Palm Sugar Market Scenario

Palm Sugar Market is projected to register a growth rate of 3.4% from 2022 to 2030 to reach a market value of USD 2.1 billion by the end of 2030. Palm sugar is a sweetener derived from a variety of palm trees such as palmyra palm, date palm, nipa palm, sugar palm, and coconut palm. A wide array of applications of palm sugar such as alternative sweetener is driving the growth of the palm sugar market. Palm sugar is used as an alternative to table sugar, honey, and corn syrup. Palm sugar is produced by boiling collected sap until it thickens, and the boiled sap is then sold in the form of palm syrup. Once the boiled sap solidifies, it takes the form of cakes. The color of palm sugar can vary from golden brown to dark brown. Palm sugar made from the sap of palm trees is widely considered as a low glycemic index (GI) food due to which the segment is growing among the health-conscious consumers.. Researchers have found that the glycemic index of palm sugar is 35, compared to honey at 55 and table sugar at 68. Apart from these health benefits, palm sugar offers a wide pool of vitamins and minerals, iron, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and copper.

Palm sugar is used in those food products which require high concentrations of invert sugar such as in bakery and confectioneries. Invert sugar is an edible mixture of glucose and fructose primarily used as a natural sweetener. Palm sugar is also beneficial for industrial use since it has a low freezing point.
