Contrary to what the name may suggest, a sugar alcohol is neither a sugar nor an alcoholic beverage, they are white, water-soluble solids that occur naturally or are produced industrially from sugars. Owing to their sweetening and texturizing properties, sugar alcohols have numerous applications across various industries.

Application of reduced sugar, sugar-free, and low-calorie diets has provided a means to reduce obesity and diabetes. Moreover, owing to rise in epidemic of obesity and diabetes, the demand for sugar alcohols as low-calorie sweeteners has thereby gained momentum. Furthermore, consumer inclination toward a healthier lifestyle has created focus on low-calorie food products and sugar alternatives such as polyols. In addition, the application of polyols (sugar alcohols) in the pharmaceutical industry has risen exponentially. Rise in consumption of nutraceutical among consumers in the form of functional foods, dietary supplements, and functional beverages boosts the growth of the sugar alcohol market. This is attributed to the fact that polyols are used in numerous pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products, owing to their coating, sweetening, emollient, bulking, anti-crystallizing, and stabilizing properties. However, the high production costs of sugar alcohol as compared to sugar, can be expected to hamper the growth of the market.

On the contrary, manufacturers can explore the opportunities in the Asia-pacific region since consumers are investing more in food and nutraceutical products, that will add value to their choice of living a healthy lifestyle. And hence, healthier food options are anticipated to gain higher traction in the coming years.
