Sugar manufacturing
Sugar manufacturing is a long and meticulous process to execute. The initial steps include cleaning, milling, and clarification; it then moves to evaporation and crystallization, finishing with crystal separation. The sugar is refined before it hits the shelves to ensure all impurities get extracted. In 2023, the sugar manufacturing market value was forecasted at around 78 billion U.S. dollars, a 45 percent decrease from the market value in 2012. Since 2012, the decrease has fluctuated between 60 to 90 billion U.S. dollars .
Sugar production and consumption
As of 2023/2024, sugar production worldwide was about 183 million metric tons, a 13 percent increase from 2010/2011. The production value is forecasted to increase by just over 2 million metric tons by 2024/2025. Sugar consumption worldwide is also forecasted to slightly increase in 2024/2025 by just over 1 million metric tons from the previous year. The consumption of sugar has grown over the years and has increased by just over 13 percent from 2010/2011 to 2023/2024.
