Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol commonly used as a low-calorie sweetener and humectant in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. Naturally found in fruits like apples and berries, sorbitol is industrially produced through the hydrogenation of glucose derived from corn syrup or other starch sources. It offers about 60% of the sweetness of sucrose and is valued for its stability, non-cariogenic properties, and moisture-retention capabilities.
Establishing a sorbitol production plant involves sourcing high-starch raw materials, installing hydrogenation and purification units, and ensuring compliance with food and pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing standards. Strategic location near corn or tapioca suppliers reduces logistics costs and enhances operational efficiency.
IMARC’s new report titled “Sorbitol Production Cost Analysis 2025: Industry Trends, Plant Setup, Machinery, Raw Materials, Investment Opportunities, Cost and Revenue” provides a comprehensive roadmap for setting up a sorbitol production plant. The study encompasses all the essential information needed to enter the sorbitol industry, including capital investment, operating costs, raw material requirements, and profit projections. The sorbitol production cost analysis offers detailed insights into cost structures and economic feasibility, helping stakeholders make informed decisions. It is a valuable resource for entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, consultants, business strategists, and anyone with an interest or stake in the sorbitol sector.
Key factors for setting up a sorbitol production plant:
