The global food sweeteners market (henceforth, referred to as the market studied) recorded a revenue of USD 75,511 million in 2018, and is expected to reach USD 82,596 million by 2024, registering a CAGR of 1.71% during the forecast period (2019-2024). The market studied, which is dominated by sucrose (table sugar), with 77.2% market share recorded in 2018, is highly effected by the decline in prices recorded in 2014. According to FAO, the global sugar market witnessed more than 30% decline in prices. The market experienced a slow growth in the next couple of years. However, with the decline in EU raw sugar imports, there was a further drop in the global sugar prices in 2017, and the market is estimated to witness a growth of 1.7% during 2019-2024. With the increasing global demand, sugar exports are most likely to expand in countries, like Australia, the European Union, and Thailand, which have modernized their sugar subsector in the recent years. Brazil may remain the world’s major producer and exporter. Increased demand of natural, non-caloric sweeteners, and high demand for sweeteners in various applications, such as processed food and beverages from emerging economies, are the major factors driving the market growth.

The global food emulsifiers market recorded a revenue of USD 3316.57 million in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 4556.86 million by 2024 at a CAGR of 5.6%, during the forecast period (2019 – 2024). • Food emulsifiers that are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are considered to be healthy, as few of the emulsifiers like lecithin and polyglycerols aids in reducing trans-fats and gluten, and are labeled organic and non-GMO. Hence, there has been a rise in the usage of food emulsifiers in bakery and confectionary products like bread, ice cream, and cake.

Butadiene, chemically known as 1, 3-butadiene, is a colorless, non-corrosive gas, which has a slight aromatic odor. It is manufactured commercially by extractive distillation from crude butylene concentration (C4) cut, a by-product of ethylene and propylene production. The value chain is initiated by raw material suppliers, who supply the required petrochemicals and oleochemicals, to make the intermediate products. The raw materials are then processed into ethylene and its by-products, which are further converted and separated to butadiene. The final product is then made available for other major applications, such as Polybutadiene (PBR), Chloroprene, Styrene-Butadiene (SBR), Nitrile Rubber (Acrylonitrile Butadiene (NBR), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Adiponitrile, Sulfolane, Ethylidene Norbornene, and other applications. There are no direct consumer uses of butadiene. Butadiene is used mainly as an intermediate and a monomer in the manufacture of polymers, such as synthetic rubbers or elastomers, including styrene-butadiene rubber, polybutadiene rubber, polychloroprene (Neoprene), and nitrile rubber. However, the major use of butadiene is in the manufacture of tires.

Cysteine is a non-essential, sulfur-containing amino acid, found in most proteins. It is one of the 20 standard amino acids required by human beings. Cysteine can be produced from various sources, such as - animal and human materials (feathers, hair, pig bristles, hooves, etc.) and from corynebacterium glutamicum, bacillus sphaericus, and glucose. It is rich in pig hair and human hair residue, thus the cost is low. Its upstream raw materials mainly include: sodium hydroxide L-cysteine monohydrate, DL-cysteine among others. Cysteine produced by German fermentation process are made from strarch as the basic raw material, and does not contain any animal raw material. Therefore, German products are more suitable for Muslim, Jewish, and other developed countries in Europe and Americas.
