As consumer tastes shift, sales of soft drinks, flavored waters, energy drinks, and luxury sweets are rising. This trend is evident in both advanced and developing markets. It significantly raises the demand for sugar. Urban living and changing lifestyles are also factors. They drive the need for convenient, ready-to-eat items, many of which are high in sugar.

  • Policies set by the government and trade laws:

Advances in farming, such as better irrigation, genetically modified crops, and modern harvesting, are significantly increasing sugar output. These improvements reduce costs, making sugar more affordable. Furthermore, better logistics and transportation are enhancing global sugar distribution.
