In 2023, the consumption of raw sugar for non-food uses in Brazil was 4.32 million metric tons. The forecast for 2024-2028 shows a slight decline, marked by a decrease from 4.3 million metric tons in 2024 to 4.24 million metric tons in 2028. Year-on-year percentage variations remain minimal, reflecting a stable yet gradually declining trend. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is negative, indicating a gentle downtrend in non-food sugar usage.
Future trends to watch include shifts in industrial applications, potential technological advancements in alternative materials, and environmental policies affecting the sugar sector. Additionally, global market dynamics and the adoption rate of bioplastics in Brazil could further influence this trend.
