In 2023, Brazil dominated the global sugar cane non-food usage with an overwhelming share, followed by minor players like Guatemala and Colombia. Brazil's share grew modestly by 0.05% over the previous year. Venezuela, Ecuador, Panama, and Mexico exhibited positive year-on-year growth, with Mexico witnessing a remarkable 6.8% increase. In contrast, some countries, like France, showed a significant decline. The compound annual growth rate over the last five years suggests marginal growth and decline among smaller contributors.
Future trends to watch include:
- An increased share from Venezuela and Ecuador pointing towards potential shifts in sugar cane non-food applications.
- The impact of technological advancements and governmental policies on Brazil's overwhelming share.
- Sustained improvement from Mexico could make it a more significant player in this market.
