Sugarcane: Market Size & Forecast 2026

The global sugarcane category sits at approximately USD 62.3 billion in 2025 (base year) [Claight estimate: convergence of published agricultural market analyses, range USD 61-63 billion across four sources], with a 2.8% CAGR through 2032 (forecast year) reflecting a mature, replacement-driven consumable category where production growth tracks population, per-capita sugar consumption, and ethanol diversion economics. The 2025/26 marketing year carries a global surplus that pushed raw sugar futures down from 27.31 cents per pound in late 2025 to a multi-year low near 13.93 cents per pound in early 2026 [Verified: Southern Ag Today, 10 June 2026]; we expect a 550,000-tonne deficit in 2026/27 to lift prices toward 15.00 cents per pound by year-end [Claight estimate: derived from StoneX and Agrideria forward curves]. > Synthesised from secondary and publicly verifiable sources via Claight Ca
