Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that is often used as a sugar replacement. Sugar alcohols come from natural sources like fruits and vegetables. On a large scale, xylitol is produced by converting plant fiber xylan to xylitol from wood and corn cob.
It’s utilized as a sweetener in a variety of products, including sugar-free candies, chewing gums, mints, diabetic, and dental care items. Xylitol is classified as a refined sweetener because it is only made up of carbs and has no nutritional value.
Market Dynamics of Xylitol Market:
Xylitol has a competitive edge because of several positive qualities. These include not just the technical advantages provided by most sugar alternatives, but also sensory aspects like texture and flavor. Xylitol has a similar appearance and flavor to table sugar. The lower calorie content is also a driving force. When compared to table sugar, xylitol has a calorie content that is around 40% lower. These factors, combined with the fact that it is “naturally derived,” make xylitol a valuable commodity in today’s health-conscious market.
Xylitol is an appealing product for diabetics due to its low-calorie content and minimal impact on blood sugar. It is fructose-free and has little impact on insulin and blood sugar levels. The fact that xylitol has a glycemic index of 7, while table sugar has a glycemic index of 60-70, backs up these assertions. The glycemic index determines how rapidly food raises blood sugar levels.
Market Segmentation of Xylitol Market:
The market for xylitol is divided into two categories: raw material and application. The market is divided into natural plant sources such as oats, berries, mushrooms, corn husk, and sugar cane bagasse based on raw materials. The considerable disparity in Xylitol retail costs is due to variances in the raw material utilized and, as a result, the extraction method. Corn-cub, for example, provides xylitol at a low price and is the preferred supplier of Chinese manufacturers. This source also highlights some of the issues surrounding the use of GMO corn. The high extraction costs and unsustainable nature of some sources, such as birch bark, are exacerbated by the fact that the entire tree must be chopped down for extraction.
