United States High-Fructose Corn Syrup Market Accelerates at 3.8% CAGR on Affordable Sweetener Surge - $4 Billion Milestone by 2031 | DataM Intelligence

Leander, Texas and TOKYO, Japan - Nov. 19, 2025. According to DataM Intelligence, the United States High-Fructose Corn Syrup Market Size is growing from USD 3 billion in 2023 to USD 4 billion by 2031, registering a robust CAGR of 3.8% during 2024-2031. The surging demand for economical sweeteners in processed foods and beverages, the expansion of the convenience food sector, and advancements in enzymatic isomerisation technologies are fueling the need for versatile HFCS formulations that deliver consistent sweetness and functionality without driving up manufacturing expenses. High-fructose corn syrup, the glucose-fructose blend derived from corn starch hydrolysis, revolutionises product development by offering superior solubility, stability, and cost advantages over cane sugar, mitigating crystallisation issues and enabling high-volume production for soft drinks, baked goods, and dairy items while adhering to FDA food safety protocols and USDA agricultural standards. By leveraging immobilised enzyme systems, precise fructose enrichment to 42-55% levels, and integrated refining processes, this market powerhouse supplies reliable, scalable solutions for flavour enhancement, texture control, and preservation across the United States and beyond.
