The global consumption of sugar amounted to about 177.33 million metric tons in 2023/24, and is projected to increase to about 178.79 million metric tons by 2024/2025. With the increase in world trade, better agricultural technology, among other reasons, sugar is cheaper and more widely available than ever. Sugar cane and sugar beets There are two major crops used to produce table sugar, sugar cane and sugar beets. Though they are two separate and distinct plants, the end product is identical no matter which plant is used to manufacture the sugar. In 2021, Brazil was the top producer of sugar cane worldwide, while the Russian Federation topped the list of sugar beets producers. Global sugar market In 2022/2023, about about 177 million metric tons of sugar were produced worldwide, up from 164.7 million metric tons of sugar in 2015/2016. India consumes the most sugar of any country, followed by the European Union and China. Between 2026 and 2031, the global price of sugar is expected to increase from about 680 U.S. dollars per ton to about 720 U.S. dollars per ton. The increase would still mark a lower price than sugar costs in 2022. This means that sugar might be even more readily accessible and affordable in the future, this could lead to further global health problems associated with excess sugar consumption.

Sugar consumption in the United States has been on the rise in the past decade. Since 2019/2020, Americans consumed over ** million metric tons of sugar, up from about ** million metric tons in 2009/2010. Sugar retail in the United States Sugar is readily available and affordable in the United States, which perhaps explains why sugar consumption has increased over the last several years. The average retail price per pound of granulated sugar in the U.S. was just above ** cents in 2021. The price of sugar in the U.S. peaked in 2012 at ** cents per pound. U.S. sugar production Sugar is generally derived from two distinct crops, sugar cane and sugar beets. The United States grows both crops in large amounts. In 2022, about **** million tons of sugar cane were grown and harvested in the United States. The two U.S. states with the highest production volume of sugar cane in that year were Florida and Louisiana. In that same year, about **** million tons of sugar beets were produced.

Introduction

Dietary Sugar Statistics: In 2024, global sugar consumption was estimated at approximately 180 million metric tons, with per capita consumption averaging around 22.1 kilograms annually. India, the largest consumer, accounted for 28 million metric tons, while the United States consumed 11.5 million metric tons.

On a per capita basis, the United States led with an average daily intake of 126.4 grams, followed by Germany at 102.9 grams, and the Netherlands at 102.5 grams. In India, per capita sugar consumption was approximately 20.1 kilograms per year. These figures highlight the significant role of dietary sugars in global nutrition and the varying consumption patterns across different countries.

Indeed, in a bid to understand the selected health issue and the efforts made to mitigate it, it is useful to look at sugar dietary statistics trends in 2024 in terms of health policies that the public embraces, policies that are affected, and consumer behavior.

This table contains 5 series, with data for years 1996 - 1999 (not all combinations necessarily have data for all years), and is no longer being released. This table contains data described by the following dimensions (Not all combinations are available): Geography (1 item: Canada); Standard Classification of Goods (SCG) (5 items: Refined sugar, total shipments; Stocks of refined sugar, end of period; Raw cane sugar, acquisitions; Raw cane sugar stocks, end of period; ...).

The mean servings/times sugar-sweetened beverages consumed daily by California residents. These data are from the 2013 California Dietary Practices Surveys (CDPS), 2012 California Teen Eating, Exercise and Nutrition Survey (CalTEENS), and 2013 California Children’s Healthy Eating and Exercise Practices Survey (CalCHEEPS). These surveys are now discontinued. Adults, adolescents, and children (with parental assistance) were asked about the sugar-sweetened beverages they drank over the previous 24 hour period. Child/Adolescent: Fruit and vegetable, beverage, and junk food consumption, along with physical activity, sedentary time, active transport, sport participation, school environment, home neighborhood environment, fruit and vegetable access and availability, household/family rules, weight status, school breakfast/lunch participation, attitudes, and beliefs. Adult: Fruit and vegetable, beverage, and junk food consumption, along with physical activity, sedentary time, worksite environment, school environment, home neighborhood environment, fruit and vegetable access and availability, household/family rules, weight status and weight loss practices, and food security. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010, sugar-sweetened beverages provide excess calories and few essential nutrients to the diet and should only be consumed when nutrient needs have been met and without exceeding daily calorie limits.

Sugar rose to 16.56 USd/Lbs on July 11, 2025, up 1.83% from the previous day.

The statistic shows the results of a survey in which U.S. adults were asked if they were trying to limit or avoid sugar in their diet. According to the survey, ** percent of respondents were reportedly trying to limit sugars in their diet in 2024.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Sugar Grove population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Sugar Grove across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Sugar Grove was 9,210, a 0.35% increase year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Sugar Grove population was 9,178, a decline of 0.76% compared to a population of 9,248 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Sugar Grove increased by 5,130. In this period, the peak population was 9,888 in the year 2019. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).
