Sugar Production in China - Industry Market Research Report

Increases in consumer income and the rapid development of many downstream industries have made China a major sugar-consuming country. Industry revenue is set to grow by 3.5% in 2022, to total $18.5 billion. Overall, industry revenue is expected to increase at an annualized 0.3% over the five years through 2022. This increase is largely due to a rise in prices in 2021 that caused total revenue to increase by 5.5% in that year. Industry revenue has started to recover from 2021, due to increasing demand and government assistance.
