DL-xylose, which is a monosaccharide food ingredient, is a conversion product between starch and amylose. It is a white or slightly yellowish amorphous crystal. In terms of classification, DL-xylose belongs to the five-carbon sugar, namely pentose, which is a natural sweetener with various functions such as enhancing aroma, sweetness, color, and health.
Overview of Market Development and Analysis of Segmented Markets
With the increasing global health awareness and the growing demand for natural, low sugar, and low GI foods from consumers, DL-xylose, as an emerging healthy food material that meets the health needs of modern consumers, is gradually receiving market attention and pursuit. According to our research data, the global DL-xylose market revenue in 2023 was $1109 million and is expected to increase to $1355 million by 2026.
From the perspective of product types, DL-xylose can be divided into three types: natural xylose, refined xylose, and converted xylose based on their sources and processing methods. Natural xylose refers to xylose directly extracted from plants, which has relatively low purity and content, but has a natural aroma and color; Refined xylose refers to xylose extracted and refined from plants through chemical or enzymatic treatment, with high purity and content, suitable for food processing and health products; Conversion of xylose is the process of converting starch or other sugars into xylose through chemical reactions, which has a higher purity and content, but may lose its natural aroma and color. Among them, converted xylose holds the largest market share.
In terms of downstream applications, DL-xylose is widely used in xylitol, food, beverage, flavor, and fragrance industries. Among them, the xylitol industry is the largest downstream application market, with a market share of 76.60% in 2023.
