Molasses is a viscous by-product created while refining sugarcane or sugar beets into sugar. Its consistency is thick and known for its rich, dark color and sweet, somewhat bitter flavor. Producing molasses involves the extraction of juice from the sugar cane or sugar beet plants, which is then boiled to form sugar crystals. The residual syrup left after the removal of these crystals is what is commonly referred to as molasses. The global molasses market has been experiencing a trajectory of growth and expansion, attributed to its government initiatives to support sugar and molasses production along with extensive applications of molasses in the food and beverage industry. Increasing demand for livestock and aquaculture products is also driving the market for molasses. Fluctuations in raw materials availability, sugar production, and environmental issues associated with molasses production hamper market growth. Growing expansion of sugar and molasses production facilities and rising emphasis and investments in biofuel projects offer growth opportunities in the market.
