Introduction to Dextrose Anhydrous

November 03, 2025

By 2025, the global market sales of Dextrose Anhydrous will reach RMB 8.506 billion, and it is expected to reach RMB 12.47 billion by 2032, with an average annual compound growth rate of 5.62%. The market size of Dextrose Anhydrous in China is 2.678 billion yuan by 2025, making it one of the major consumer markets in the Asia Pacific region. From 2022 to 2027, the Asia Pacific region is expected to experience strong growth prospects.

This development is mainly due to the increasing demand for healthcare and the widespread use of Dextrose Anhydrous in the food industry, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. According to the market research data, the medical and health field is the largest application market of Dextrose Anhydrous, accounting for 65% of the total market share. Among them, the demand for Dextrose Anhydrous from diabetes patients has significantly increased, which has promoted the rapid development of the market.

At the same time, the application of Dextrose Anhydrous as a sweetener and stabilizer in the food industry has shown strong growth momentum, and it is expected to maintain an average annual growth rate of over 10% in the next few years.

However, with the intensification of Dextrose Anhydrous market competition and fluctuations in raw material prices, enterprises need to pay attention to cost control and supply chain management to ensure sustained profitability and improve market competitiveness. At the same time, the government's stricter regulation of the pharmaceutical industry will also encourage companies to pay more attention to compliance and safety to meet market demand and gain better development prospects.

The core functional characteristic of Dextrose Anhydrous is its high-purity carbohydrate source, which combines the characteristics of fast energy supply, strong stability, and easy solubility. Dextrose Anhydrous is widely used in fields such as food, medicine, and industry.

Dextrose Anhydrous core functional characteristics：

Rapid energy supply

Dextrose Anhydrous, as a monosaccharide, can be directly absorbed and utilized by the human body without digestion or decomposition. It can quickly replenish energy and is commonly used in sports drinks, medical nutrient solutions, or low blood sugar emergency situations.

High stability

Dextrose Anhydrous does not contain crystalline water. Compared to glucose containing crystalline water (such as glucose monohydrate), Dextrose Anhydrous is more resistant to storage, less prone to moisture absorption and clumping, and suitable for long-term storage or as a stable raw material in industrial production.

Low sweetness

Dextrose Anhydrous has a sweetness of about 70% that of sucrose, with a mild taste that does not mask the flavor of other ingredients. It is suitable for use in foods (such as baking, dairy products) or pharmaceuticals that require fine-tuning of sweetness without affecting flavor.

Dextrose Anhydrous Main application areas

Food industry:

Dextrose Anhydrous is used as a sweetener and energy supplement in sports drinks, pastries, infant formula, jams, and more.

In the field of medicine:

Dextrose Anhydrous can be used to make glucose injection for clinical fluid replacement and correction of hypoglycemia; Or as a pharmaceutical excipient to improve the formability and solubility of tablets.

Industrial sector:

Dextrose Anhydrous is used in the fermentation industry (such as producing monosodium glutamate and alcohol), as a cosmetic ingredient (providing moisturizing and stabilizing effects), or as a carbon source for biological culture media.
