The North American sugar market exhibited a fluctuating pricing trend throughout the first quarter of 2025, influenced by both international and domestic factors. Prices experienced notable declines during the early and final months of the quarter, with the CFR price at the Texas port closing the quarter at approximately USD 845/MT. The initial price drop was primarily driven by declining global sugar prices, particularly in Brazil—a key exporter to the U.S. market. Improved production conditions and the easing of logistical constraints in Brazil led to an increase in supply, making imports more cost-effective and contributing to downward pressure on regional prices.

The price of sugar worldwide is influenced by various factors such as supply and demand dynamics, production levels, government policies, and transportation costs. This article explores how these factors interact and contribute to fluctuations in sugar prices, impacting both producers and consumers.

Global sugar manufacturers have endured fluctuations in global sugar prices over the five years to 2024. Nonetheless, global sugar manufacturers' revenue is anticipated to strengthen at a CAGR of 5.6% to $83.2 billion over the five years to 2024, including a drop of 8.5% in 2024. Brazil is very influential in the industry's health. The country produces and exports the most sugar of any nation and is also the second-largest producer of ethanol, which is often produced from sugarcane. As energy prices have strengthened over the past five years, Brazil has expansively diverted more of its sugar stock toward ethanol production. Brazil's changing production and export levels have impacted the world supply of sugar, which, in turn, has disturbed world sugar prices. For example, prior to the current period, in 2011, when Brazil cut its production of sugar by 2.0 million tons, the world price of sugar shot up 25.6%; the following year, as Brazil boosted production by more than 2.0 million tons, the world price of sugar dropped 18.5%. These fluctuations in production, coupled with other countries following Brazil's lead and diverting their sugar stock toward ethanol production or other more valuable crops, have led revenue for the entire industry to endure intense volatility during the current five-year period. Profit, measured as earnings before interest and taxes, inched upward to 6.1% of revenue in 2024. These factors are expected to continue driving volatility in the world price of sugar and global sugar manufacturers' revenue over the five years to 2029. Despite ongoing fluctuations, the world price of sugar will moderately drop as global demand for sugar and sugar-heavy products dips, along with lower energy prices, which will likely prompt demand for alternative fuel sources, like ethanol. Also, as demand from developing nations continues to swell and as trade barriers are expansively removed, global production and international trade of sugar will strengthen. As a result of these factors, global sugar manufacturers' revenue will drop at a CAGR of an estimated 1.2% over the next five years to $78.5 billion in 2029.
