Food Polyols Market Research, 2033
Market Introduction and Definition
The global food polyols market was valued at $1.5 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $2.6 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2024 to 2033. Food polyols, also known as sugar alcohol, are a form of carbohydrate that chemically mimics both sugars and alcohols but lacks ethanol and the sugars' normal sweetness level. They are commonly employed as low-calorie sweeteners in a variety of food and beverage items, giving approximately half the calories of conventional sugar while maintaining a comparable flavor profile.

Furthermore, the rising popularity of clean-label and organic compounds in food goods has increased the usage of naturally produced food polyols such as xylitol and erythritol. The growing vegan and plant-based food sectors also help to drive market expansion, as food polyols are frequently sourced from plants and correspond with dietary choices. Moreover, government approving for food polyols as safe substitutes for sugar in certain places has increased their usage in the food business.
