Global Xylitol Market Introduction:
Xylitol, C5H12O5, is a type of sugar alcohol or a polyol. Xylitol is a naturally occurring polyol extracted from vegetables and fruits. Generally, various berries, mushrooms, corncobs and birch trees are used as source material for the production of Xylitol. Among all sources, corncobs are mostly preferred for industrial production of Xylitol. During production, Xylan is extracted from the sources and then hydrolyzed to yield xylose, which on further catalytic hydrogenation results in the production of Xylitol.
Xylitol is a crystalline, granular structured compound, usually containing one third of calories present in sugar. Moreover, Xylitol has no aftertaste, acts as natural insulin stabilizer and is anti-cariogenic in nature owing to which it is considered as a suitable alternative for sugar and also, can be used in the diet of obese and diabetic persons. Xylitol is used as sweetener in various products such as chewing gum, candy, toothpaste and mouthwash among other products.

Further, xylitol market is driven by the increase in its consumption in food and personal care applications.
Also, consumers, especially diabetic and obese persons prefer natural sweetener containing food products, which in turn is expected to propel the growth of Xylitol market. Xylitol production from corncobs is more sustainable as after harvesting corn, its cob can be used for production of xylitol. Besides this, changing climatic conditions are expected to impact the availability of sources, which in turn is expected to impact overall xylitol production. Also, for Xylitol production, pure xylose is required, which is expensive and its supply is relatively inadequate. Owing to this, price of Xylitol has become higher, which will have an effect on the growth of Xylitol market. Xylitol supply variation and availability of substitute polyols such as sorbitol, maltol and mannitol among others are expected to act as an impediment to the growth of Xylitol market.
