Global Sugar Market Sees Production Surge and Price Fluctuations – What This Means for Buyers in 2025

The global sugar market is undergoing significant shifts as a surge in production across major countries is met with continued price volatility. Buyers and importers across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East must remain alert to new dynamics shaping the trade of both refined sugar and VHP sugar in 2025.

Production Boom in Key Regions

Sugar production has ramped up globally, especially in Brazil, India, Thailand, and China — countries that dominate the supply chain. Brazil, the world’s top sugar exporter, has posted a substantial increase in output this year, driven by favorable weather and expanded cane cultivation. India, while facing some constraints in local consumption and government export restrictions, remains a major player in global refined sugar supply.

Thailand and China have also shown growth in sugar output, adding to the global supply glut and influencing pricing trends. With stockpiles rising, many buyers are looking to secure long-term contracts before any further market changes occur.

Volatility in Prices – An Opportunity for Bulk Buyers

Despite the rise in production, sugar prices remain erratic due to trade policies, weather disruptions, and logistical challenges. Spot prices have seen short-term surges followed by quick corrections. For importers and bulk sugar buyers, this volatility opens a window of opportunity to lock in favorable prices before the market stabilizes.

With prices expected to experience continued fluctuations throughout the second half of 2025, timely procurement can significantly impact profit margins. This is especially true for large-scale importers in Africa and the Middle East, where sugar demand continues to grow across industrial, retail, and foodservice sectors.
