Thailand’s Role in the Global Market

Thailand is reinforcing its position as the world’s #2 sugar exporter, with over 61% of its production exported. Key markets include China and ASEAN. As India restricts exports due to drought, Thailand has a golden opportunity to expand market share and increase revenue.

Industry Trends

Thai sugar production is expected to rise 14–20% thanks to favorable weather.
Revenue in 2025 is projected to grow, though global sugar prices may decline in 2026.
The global market is entering a surplus of over 7 million tons, yet Thailand maintains an edge through quality and consistent output.
Major Players in Thailand

Five major groups dominate over 54% of the market: Mitr Phol, Thai Roong Ruang, KBS, KSL, and KTIS.
However, there is room for new entrants focusing on quality differentiation and sustainability.

Thai Sugar Trend and Movement 2026-2027
The Thai sugar trend shows a recovery after drought impacts, with increased production and exports expected for 2024/2025 due to better rainfall, boosting overall value despite potentially lower prices. Key trends include a shift towards higher-value white sugar exports, focus on sustainability (ESG), new product development (low-calorie sugar), and technological innovation in utilizing byproducts like filter cake for energy or materials, all while adapting to health trends and global market shifts. Production & Supply: Drought Recovery: Severe droughts in previous years reduced production, but improved rainfall (especially La Niña conditions) is expected to significantly increase sugarcane volume and sugar output for 2024/2025. Increased Exports: Higher production means larger export volumes, particularly for white sugar, benefiting from strong regional demand and ASEAN trade benefits. Market Dynamics: Price Volatility: While global sugar prices have been volatile, Thailand benefits from its central Asian location and relatively low production costs. Domestic Consumption: The domestic market is also growing, supported by Thailand's economic recovery. Industry Focus & Innovation: Sustainability (ESG): Companies are prioritizing sustainable practices, reducing emissions, and ethical sourcing, including avoiding fire-affected cane. Health Trends: Development of low-calorie sugar and other health-conscious products is a key area for differentiation. Circular Economy: Focus on turning byproducts (like filter cake) into valuable resources for biogas, construction materials, or high-value products. Technological Advancement: Improving efficiency in processing and exploring new uses for sugarcane byproducts are growing trends. Challenges: Climate Change: Ongoing climate volatility remains a significant risk. Global Slowdown: Potential for slower global economic growth impacting export demand. In essence, Thailand's sugar industry is rebounding from climate setbacks, leveraging increased supply for exports while strategically focusing on sustainability, innovation, and higher-value products to navigate evolving consumer and market demands.
