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.

This dataset includes the chemical data obtained by wavelength Dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) analysis on sugar pots retrieved in Sicily from 11th-16th cent. AD contexts. These data were collected as part of the project “SPotEU: Sugar Pot manufacture in Western Europe in the medieval and post-medieval period (11th -16th centuries AD)”, funded under the Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (grant agreement: 797242). Chemical characterization was conducted by means of wavelength Dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) analysis. The concentrations were quantified using an AxiosmAX-Advanced PANalytical spectrometer with a Rh excitation source calibrated by a suite of 56 international Geological Standards. Interferences were considered and the correction of matrix effects was done using PANanalytical Pro-Trace software for trace elements. The determined elements were: Na2O, MgO, Al2O3, SiO2, P2O5, K2O, CaO, TiO2, V, Cr, MnO, Fe2O3 (as total Fe), Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Sn, Ba, Ce, W, Pb and Th. Minor and major elements are expressed as concentrations of oxides in percentage by mass (wt %). Trace elements are conveyed as concentrations of elements in μg g-1. Samples are prepared according to a procedure explained in Madrid i Fernández, Marisol, and Alejandro G. Sinner.

A survey conducted in 2020 revealed that 17 percent of the respondents who lived in households without any children in the United Kingdom (UK) always checked the sugar content when buying food, compared to 11 percent of the respondents living with three children. A share of 28 percent of the respondents from households with four children or more stated that they never looked at the sugar content of the food they were buying.

In 2023, the best-performing free-from food products in Italy were the ones without added sugar. Indeed, their sales value grew by 18.5 percent, compared to the previous year. On the other hand, polyphosphate-free food products reported a growth in their sales value of 5.3 percent.
