Brazil is the world’s largest sugar producing country and accounts for nearly 21% of the global market share. Besides, it is also the world’s second-largest ethanol producer with a 26% market share. It is expected to maintain its status quo by accounting for nearly 37% of the world's total sugar production by 2031. The increasing prices of sugar internationally are bolstering national exports, thereby contributing to Brazil sugar market expansion. In 2022, Brazil exported 28 MMT of sugar internationally, about 17MMT higher than the world’s second-largest sugar exporter, Thailand. Bioenergy, sugar, and ethanol employ nearly 8% of Brazil’s agribusiness workforce and are a major source of its export earnings (USD 11 billion in 2022).
Brazilian sugar mills entirely rely on sugarcane bagasse for energy production and sell their any excessive amount back to the grid. The global shift towards renewable energy resources has prompted the Brazilian government to introduce new capacity auctions to drive the transition towards clean energy. As per the Brazil sugar market analysis, bioelectricity can potentially fulfill nearly 30% of all power requirements, which is favourably influencing the market growth.
Rising demand for ethanol; technological advancements in the agriculture sector; increasing investments in sugarcane cultivation; and diversification of by-products are key factors driving the Brazil sugar market expansion.
As per the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy, ethanol is an important part of the national energy security strategy. Many local consumers prefer flex-fuel vehicles since they lower GHG emissions and are suitable for usage in rural areas. Ethanol-powered vehicles constitute a major portion of the automotive industry share, which is contributing to Brazil sugar market growth.
Brazil is focusing on adopting advanced technologies for sugar cane cultivation, such as genetic engineering, precision farming, and mechanisation. Precision farming techniques, including remote sensing technologies and GPS-guided machinery, enable farmers to properly optimise inputs like fertilisers and pesticides, thereby increasing yield per hectare and reducing the environmental impact of farming practices.
The Brazil sugarcane industry is receiving increasing attention from foreign investors due to shifting climate change patterns and emerging opportunities in clean energy industry. The increasing consumer demand for ethically sourced food products is also driving investments in organic sugarcane production, thereby influencing the Brazil sugar market dynamics favourably.
The market is capitalising on by-products like bagasse (used for energy generation) and molasses (used in animal feed and fermentation), enhancing profitability and reducing waste. This is increasing sustainability, hence contributing to the market expansion.
Rising biofuel production
In 2023, ethanol production in Brazil surged year-on-year by 15.5%, reaching 35.4 billion litres. According to the Brazil sugar market analysis, the southern region accounted for nearly 48.5% of national ethanol production and dominated the total production share. Meanwhile, the production of anhydrous ethanol and hydrated ethanol also increased by 13.5% and 16.8%, respectively. This is in line with the growing popularity of flex-fuel vehicles in the country that offer consumers the option to choose from either gasoline or ethanol for powering their vehicles.
Diversification of by-products
Brazil’s sugar industry is maximising efficiency by diversifying sugarcane by-products. Bagasse, the fibrous residue from sugarcane processing, is used for generating bioelectricity, powering mills, and contributing surplus energy to national grids. Molasses, another key by-product, is widely utilised in ethanol production, animal feed, and fermentation industries. This is creating a favourable Brazil sugar market outlook. Additionally, vinasse, a by-product of ethanol production, is being repurposed as a biofertiliser. These practices not only enhance profitability but also promote sustainability by reducing waste and optimising resource utilisation within the industry.
