United States Glucose Market Size Insights Forecasts to 2035

• The US Glucose Market Size Was Estimated at USD 7,500.9 Million in 2024
• The Market Size is Expected to Grow at a CAGR of around 4.70% from 2025 to 2035
• The US Glucose Market Size is Expected to Reach USD 12,430.7 Million by 2035

According to a Research Report Published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the United States Glucose Market Size is anticipated to reach USD 12,430.7 Million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 4.70% from 2025 to 2035. The expansion of the United States glucose market is propelled by the rising demand for bread, soft drinks, and confectionery goods made using glucose (dextrose) as a component in the food and beverage industry.

Market Overview

A naturally occurring monosaccharide, or simple sugar, is refferd to as glucose; it is also known as blood sugar or dextrose. Glucose is used across a range of industrial sectors, including pulp and paper, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic and personal care, as a preservative, humectant, stabiliser, texture enhancer, coating and bulking agent, and flavour enhancer. One of the main characteristics of glucose is that it prevents sugar molecules from crystallising, which helps keep confections amorphous texture. These characteristics of glucose made it more popular and in greater demand. Glucose is made from corn starch due to the availability of this crop in the United States. According to regulation 21CFR184.1865, the FDA considers glucose syrup and corn syrup safe for use in manufactured foods. In the food industry, glucose syrup is the most dominant and popular. Because of their similar chemistry, glucose and dextrose are sometimes used interchangeably. Dextrose injections are a medical treatment for hypoglycemia, a medical condition in which blood sugar/glucose is lower than normal. The USDA and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) have made significant commitments to research and development to accelerate the conversion of biomass (corn stover, corn starch, agricultural residues, et al.) to use in high-value biochemicals and glucose.

Driving Factors

The growth of the United States glucose market is boosted by the rising prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes. The production of glucose syrup and powder, which are flexible sweeteners and textural agents, is being driven by the growth in the food, beverage, bakery, and confectionery industries. Additionally, the use of glucose in functional beverages and supplements is growing due to the rise in sports nutrition and health-conscious customers. Additional velocity is added by technological advancements in glucose solutions and monitoring.

Restraining Factors

The United States glucose market faces obstacles because advanced glucose monitoring devices are expensive, and many patients won't be able to afford them. The expense of continuous glucose monitoring systems and other advanced technology, a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, typically prevents a person from taking the step to buy these important diabetes care resources.

Market Segmentation

The United States glucose market share is classified into form and application.

• The syrup segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period.

The United States glucose market is segmented by form into syrup and solid. Among these, the syrup segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. The segment is driven because it is liquid glucose that is usually derived from corn, but also from other cereal grains, such as wheat, rice, barley, potatoes, and cassava. For instance, AGRANA Beteiligungs-AG manufactures glucose syrups sold under the AGENABON umbrella, most of which are made from maize and wheat.

• The F&B segment held the highest revenue share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the application, the United States glucose market is segmented into F&B, pharmaceutical, cosmetic & personal care, pulp & paper, and others. Among these, the F&B segment held the highest revenue share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The segmental growth is propelled as it includes dairy, soups, dressings and sauces, beverages and bakery, and confectionery. The food and beverage industry is driving growth for the market because of the rapid expansion of food and beverage sectors, increased R&D by key industry participants to introduce new products and improve the overall quality of current products being manufactured.
