New Report Analyses the Sorbitol Market and Discusses Its Market Structure, Applications,
Manufacturing Process, Demand, Supply, Key Regions and Manufacturers
Sorbitol currently represents the world’s most consumed polyol with its demand growing at 2%-3% annually.
China is currently its largest producer followed by the United States and Western Europe.
Sorbitol (also known as Glucitol) is a sugar alcohol or polyol. It was originally identified in the berries of a tree
called the mountain ash, by a French chemist in 1872 and is presently produced commercially by the
hydrogenation of glucose. Sorbitol currently represents the world’s most consumed polyol and finds applications
across various industries. It is widely used in the production of toothpastes, toiletries, cosmetics,
confectionaries, sweets, frozen desserts, biscuits, ascorbic acid, industrial surfactants, pharmaceuticals,
healthcare products, etc.
The global demand of Sorbitol is currently growing at 2%-3% annually with China being the world’s largest
producer. China was followed by the United States and Western Europe. The feedstocks used to produce sorbitol
can differ from region to region with corn, cassava and wheat currently being the three main feedstocks used for
sorbitol production. The market is also quite concentrated in nature with the top 5 players presently accounting
for more than 50% of the total global production capacity. Roquette, a French company is currently the world’s
biggest producer of Sorbitol.
IMARC’s new report entitled “Global Sorbitol Market Report & Forecast: 2015 - 2020” provides an analytical
and statistical insight into the global sorbitol market. The study, that has been undertaken using desk-based as
well as qualitative primary research, provides a comprehensive analysis of the global sorbitol market.
