The forecasted sugar supply in the US from 2024 to 2028 remains quite stable, with minor incremental increases expected. In 2023, the supply stood at approximately 65.3 kilograms per capita per year. From 2024 to 2026, we see a negligible rise, staying at 65.4 kg per capita per year, and then gradually increasing to 65.6 kg per capita by 2028. The year-on-year variation over the past two years prior to 2024 shows minimal change, while the five-year CAGR indicates an average increase of less than 0.1% per year.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences for alternative sweeteners, impacts of agricultural and trade policies, and possible environmental factors affecting sugar production. Monitoring advances in sugar production technology and health trends impacting sugar consumption will be critical.
