ソルビトールの世界市場規模は2024年に276万トンとなりました。IMARC Groupは、2033年には303万トンに達し、2025年から2033年のCAGRは1.12%になると予測しています。現在、中国が市場を独占しており、2024年の市場シェアは32.5%を超えます。無糖製品に対する需要の高まり、化粧品や医薬品における使用量の増加、食品保存における採用の増加、工業分野における用途の拡大、健康志向の消費者動向などが、ソルビトール市場を促進する主な要因の一部です。

ソルビトールの世界市場は、健康志向の高まりと糖尿病や肥満などの生活習慣病の蔓延が低カロリー・無糖製品の需要を促進していることから成長を遂げています。ソルビトールの天然甘味料、保湿剤、安定剤としての役割は、砂糖不使用の菓子類、焼き菓子、飲料、糖尿病患者に優しい製品に理想的です。医薬品分野も大きく貢献しており、ソルビトールはその賦形剤としての特性から、シロップ、錠剤、内服液剤に広く使用されています。さらに、保湿剤、シャンプー、歯磨き粉などのパーソナルケア製品や化粧品への使用は、天然成分や持続可能な成分に対する消費者の嗜好により拡大しています。界面活性剤や接着剤への使用を含む工業用途は、市場の需要をさらに押し上げています。

米国におけるソルビトール市場の成長は、健康志向の高まりと糖尿病や肥満の蔓延を背景とした、低カロリー・無糖製品に対する消費者需要の増加が牽引しています。糖アルコールであるソルビトールは、砂糖不使用の菓子類、焼き菓子、栄養補助食品など、様々な飲食品用途で砂糖の代用品として普及しています。ソルビトールの重要な消費者である米国の飲食品業界は拡大を続けており、市場の成長をさらに促進しています。さらに、ソルビトールの用途は、シロップや口腔ケア製品の賦形剤として利用される医薬品分野や、化粧品やトイレタリー製品の保湿剤として機能するパーソナルケア分野にも広がっています。このような要因の融合が、米国のソルビトール市場の堅調な拡大に寄与しています。

ソルビトール市場の動向：

食品・飲料（F&B）業界の著しい成長

ソルビトールは、チョコレート、シェイク、ジャム、ゼリー、アイスクリーム、キャンディー、スムージー、クッキー、パン、ケーキ、ピザ、ビスケットなどの無糖食品や飲食品の調製において、甘味、食感の向上、保存性を提供するための増量剤や増粘剤として使用されることが多くなっています。糖尿病患者の急増により、低カロリーの加工食品と飲食品に対する顧客の嗜好が高まっていることも、世界市場の成長を増大させる重要な要因のひとつです。国際糖尿病連合によると、糖尿病を患う人の絶対数は2030年までに6億4,300万人にまで増加すると予測されています。さらに、レストラン、カフェ、ホテル、QSRなど、健康志向の高い消費者層に対応した食品を提供する商業施設や飲食店の増加が、この市場を牽引しています。

製薬業界の拡大がソルビトールの売上にプラスに働く

ソルビトールの賦形剤としての使用は、特にシロップ剤、懸濁剤、内服液剤などの液体製剤において増加傾向にあります。また、錠剤の結合剤や充填剤として使用され、凝集性を付与するためにも使用されています。これによって、糖尿病や肥満のような病気や障害の現在の急激な発生率を満足させるために、医薬品の処方需要とともに積極的に作用しています。World Obesity Atlas 2023の報告によると、現在世界人口の38％が過体重または肥満です。

パーソナルケア製品と化粧品の使用拡大

ソルビトールは、保湿剤、シャンプー、コンディショナー、シャワージェル、ボディソープ、リップクリーム、化粧水、美容液、ローション、フェイスマスク、洗顔料、クレンジング、ファンデーションなどのパーソナルケア製品や化粧品の製造に使用されます。IMARC Groupによると、世界の美容・パーソナルケア製品市場は2024年に52万9,500トンと評価されました。これは、個人の身体意識の高まりに起因しています。化粧品は肌に潤いを与え、弾力性を向上させ、肌の乾燥を防ぎ、肌の柔らかさを維持し、滑らかな外観をもたらします。

Expansion of the pharmaceutical industry positively influences sales of sorbitol

The usage of sorbitol as an excipient has been on the rise, particularly in liquid formulations, including syrups, suspensions, and oral solutions. It is also used for giving cohesive properties when used as a binder or filler in tablet formulations. Besides these, sorbitol is used as cryoprotective agent in cell, tissue, and organ preservation technique, which will save the biological specimen from freeze/thaw induced damages due to the suppression of ice crystal formation and osmostress thereby acting in favor positively and along with the prescription demand of the drugs to satisfy the current sharp incidence rates of diseases and disorder such as diabetes and obesity. As reported by the World Obesity Atlas 2023, 38% of the global population is currently either overweight or obese.

Growing use of personal care products and cosmetics

Sorbitol is used in the manufacturing of personal care and cosmetic products, such as moisturizers, shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, body washes, lip balms, toners, serums, lotions, face masks, face wash, cleansers, and foundations. The global beauty and personal care products market was valued at USD 529.5 Thousand Tons in 2024 as per the IMARC Group. This can be attributed to the rising physical consciousness among individuals. It aids in hydrating the skin, improving its elasticity, preventing skin dryness, maintaining skin softness, and providing a smoother appearance.

Sorbitol is widely used in liquid medication, syrups, and vitamin C production, which find applications in conformity with the increasing demand for over-the-counter medicines and dietary supplements in the region. The aging population and rising incidence of chronic diseases are also driving the growth of the sector. As of 1 January 2023, the EU population was approximately 448.8 Million people, and more than one-fifth (21.3 %) of it was aged 65 years and over, according to the reports. Moreover, the move toward natural and sustainable personal care solutions is in line with the plant-based origin of sorbitol, thus supporting its growing application.

China Sorbitol Market Analysis

The China sorbitol market is driven by several key factors. The main application of sorbitol as a sweetener in the F&B industry is gaining popularity due to increased consumer demand for low-calorie and sugar-free products. With health consciousness on the rise, the demand for natural and alternative sweeteners, such as sorbitol, is growing steadily. The role of sorbitol as a humectant and stabilizer in personal care and cosmetics products adds to its demand, especially in skincare formulations that require moisture retention. In addition, economic factors, such as the availability of raw materials like corn for sorbitol production and advancements in manufacturing technologies, aid in enhancing the production efficiency and cost-effectiveness. In addition, regulatory approval of sorbitol as a food additive and its classification as safe by global health authorities is supporting its widespread use. Environmental factors coupled with the demand for biodegradable and sustainable alternatives in the industries among themselves contribute to making sorbitol a preferred choice. The pharmaceutical industry is another crucial one, mainly because the syrupy and tablet form, along with oral care products, require sorbitol for sweetening and textural purposes. In addition to these factors, rising Chinese middle class and urbanization will intensify these factors by forcing the demand for packaged food items, soft drinks, and personal care products. According to the CIA, the urban population of China, excluding Hong Kong and Macau, was 64.6% of the total population in 2023.

India Sorbitol Market Analysis

The India sorbitol market is primarily driven by its extensive application across diverse industries, such as F&B, pharmaceuticals, personal care, and cosmetics. One of the prominent drivers for F&B is consumer health awareness. Because it is a sugar substitute in confectioneries, chewing gums, and beverages which are sugar-free and diabetic friendly, and thus has low calorific value, non-cariogenic in nature, etc. The increasing prevalence of diabetes and obesity in the region is accelerating the adoption of functional and health-oriented food products. According to the Indian Council of Medical Research-India Diabetes (ICMR INDIAB) study published in 2023, the prevalence of diabetes was 101 Million. The pharmaceutical industry in the country is also contributing to the growth of the sorbitol market. Liquid formulation, syrups, and tablets of sorbitol, used as an excipient, stabilizer, and sweetener, are impelling the growth of the market. Furthermore, industrial application also grows through resins, adhesives, and surfactants and consequently strengthens the growth of the market. Another area where sorbitol is gaining acceptance is through eco-friendly and biodegradable products, which also promotes its usage because it is biodegradable and causes very little damage to the environment. Further, Indian government agencies have formulated policies that have helped promote industrial development, while at the same time offering low-cost raw materials such as corn.

Indonesia Sorbitol Market Analysis

The key driving force is the growing demand for low-calorie and sugar-free products among health-conscious consumers. Sorbitol, being a commercial sugar substitute, provides sweetness with fewer calories, thereby being suitable for diabetic and health-aware products. The expanding F&B sector in Indonesia further increases the demand for sorbitol, where it is used as a humectant, texturizer, and stabilizer in confectioneries, baked goods, and beverages. Additionally, the rising employment of sorbitol because of the thriving pharmaceutical industry is supporting the market growth in Indonesia. The pharmaceutical industry has contributed stably to the upward trend in GDP, reaching 1.75% of GDP in 2023, as reported by the Business Indonesia. Sorbitol is used as an excipient in syrups, tablets, and other formulations because it does not have toxicity and stabilizes. The sustainability trend and the demand for bio-based products also support the market, as sorbitol is derived from natural sources such as corn and cassava, which aligns with consumer preferences for eco-friendly solutions. Collectively, these factors underscore the growing importance of sorbitol across diverse sectors in Indonesia.

Competitive Landscape:

The competitive landscape of the global sorbitol market is characterized by the presence of several established players actively expanding their production capacities and portfolios to meet rising demand across diverse applications.
