Powdered Sugar Market to Grow with a CAGR of 5.68% through 2029

The global powdered sugar market is expanding due to rising demand from the bakery, confectionery, and beverage sectors, as well as an increase in home baking, premium desserts, and increased use in ready-to-eat products

According to TechSci Research report, “Powdered Sugar Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2029F”, the global powdered sugar market stood at USD 6.05 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow USD 8.40 billion by 2029 with a CAGR of 5.68% during the forecast period. The global powdered sugar market is experiencing steady growth, driven by the increasing demand across the bakery, confectionery, and food processing industries. Powdered sugar, also known as confectioners' sugar, has become a vital ingredient in many processed foods, baked goods, and dessert products due to its fine texture, which dissolves quickly and is ideal for icing, glazes, and dusting. This demand surge is particularly evident in the bakery sector, where the popularity of cakes, pastries, and cookies is growing globally, supported by the expanding middle class and rising disposable incomes in emerging economies. Consumers' rising preference for ready-to-eat and packaged food products further boosts powdered sugar demand, as it is commonly used in a variety of ready-made food items to add flavor, sweetness, and decorative appeal.

The home baking trend, which spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic, has also significantly impacted the powdered sugar market. More people began baking at home during lockdowns, leading to an increase in the demand for ingredients like powdered sugar. While this trend initially surged as people were confined to their homes, it has shown lasting effects as many consumers continue to engage in home baking. The trend is particularly popular in North America and Europe, where home baking is viewed as a leisure activity and as part of the broader Do-It-Yourself (DIY) movement. As consumers experiment with various recipes, including cakes, cookies, and pastries, the demand for powdered sugar has expanded, leading to increased production by manufacturers to meet this rising demand.

Health trends are also influencing the powdered sugar market, as consumers become more health-conscious and seek alternatives to traditional sugar. This shift has led to a growing demand for organic and low-calorie powdered sugar options, which appeal to health-aware consumers who want to enjoy sweet foods without the associated risks of high sugar intake. Many manufacturers have responded to this shift by introducing organic, natural, and even non-GMO powdered sugar products. While traditional powdered sugar remains the most popular, organic and low-calorie alternatives are gaining traction, especially in regions like North America and Europe, where health consciousness is high. This trend has encouraged brands to differentiate their offerings and emphasize the health benefits of their products, thus creating a more diverse range of powdered sugar products in the market.
