High Fructose Corn Syrup Market

Global High Fructose Corn Syrup Market
Report by Type, Trends and Forecast to
2025
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a liquid sweetener, used as a replacement of
sucrose (common table sugar), and finds wide application in the food and beverage
industry. High fructose corn syrup is made from corn, which is obtained through wet
milling process. High fructose corn syrup is highly preferred compared to granulated
sugar due to its manufacturing advantages such as cost effectiveness and easy
handling.
United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has viewed HFCS as safe,
dependable and trusted component by the food and beverage industry. However, rise in
consumption of low calorie foods and beverage items is one of the major factors
restraining the growth of the market at present. Moreover, excess consumption of
added sugar in any form, including HFCS, can pose several negative effects on human
health such as obesity, which is another major factor responsible for the slowdown of
the high fructose corn syrup market.
HFCS 42 is the most widely used type with a market share of 42.01% in 2016, and is
expected to lead the market throughout the forecast period followed by HFCS 55. It
signifies that the syrup is made of 42% or 55% fructose, while the remaining sugars
being glucose. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA),
around 90% of HFCS that is produced in the U.S is sold to the beverage industry.
