The Xylose Market focuses on the production and commercial use of xylose, a naturally occurring monosaccharide derived primarily from biomass sources such as corn cobs, wood, sugarcane bagasse, and straw. Xylose is widely used as a key raw material for producing xylitol, a low-calorie sweetener used in pharmaceuticals, personal care, food and beverages, and nutraceutical formulations.
Due to its low glycemic index, dental health benefits, and growing use in sugar alternatives, the demand for xylose has increased significantly. Industrial applications also include fermentation processes, bio-based chemicals, and research in renewable biochemical pathways.
