The Global Sorbitol Market is
expected to reach USD 3.99 billion by 2020, according to a new study by Grand
View Research, Inc. Sorbitol is a preferred substitute for sugar in food and
beverages owing to lower caloric values and natural sweetening properties.
Additionally, increasing health awareness among consumers worldwide is expected
to fuel market demand over the forecast period.
Cosmetic and personal
care was the largest end use application segment, accounting for over 600 kilo
tons of sorbitol demand in 2013. Stabilizing, softening and surface active
properties of sorbitol are the key reasons for growing use in the above
applications. Sorbitol is also used as a preservative and low calorie sweetener
in foods and accounted for over 537.9 kilo tons of sorbitol demand in 2013.
