The Africa and Middle East sugarcane syrup market size is expected to be reach $2,074 million by 2023. Sugarcane syrup is a thick concentrated syrup formed as an intermediate product of the sugar-making process and used as a natural sweetener. Sugarcane syrup is dark golden brown in color, with a slight molasses flavor. It is made by evaporating sugar cane juice for several hours, which converts sucrose contained in sugarcane to an equimolar mixture of glucose, sucrose, and fructose by the process of hydrolysis. As a result a thick concentrated syrup, which is sweeter than sugar is formed. This process is repeated several times, and each time a different type of sugarcane syrup such as liquid sucrose, invert sugar to refiners syrups, are produced depending upon the specific functional requirements of the final products. The syrup is majorly used as a natural sweetener by bakery, dairy, beverages, confectionaries, processed foods, and other industries. It is used to prepare variety of bakery and beverage products such as donuts, biscuits, chocolate, pancakes, cookies, and health drinks & sweetened beverages. They are used as natural preservatives to reduce water activity and also employed in medicines for improving their taste.

Sugarcane syrup contains higher amount of sucrose, which makes it sweeter than sugar. It has been widely and extensively utilized by the food industry owing to its inherent advantages over sugar. It is widely used in the preparation of various bakery products such as waffles, cakes, pancakes, bread rolls, and French toast. It is also used for flavoring a wide range of food products such as hot cereal, ice cream, sausages, fruit juices, corn fritters, baked beans, fresh donuts, and baked apples. Sugarcane syrup is also used as a basic sweetener in the production of sweetened beverages such as cocktails, mixed drinks, and beers. It is also used as an alternative to honey. Thus, increase in number of food & beverages industry along with rise in use of sugarcane syrup in bakery and confectionery products drive the Africa and Middle East sugarcane syrup market.
