Sorbitol is a hexahydric sugar alcohol manufactured by the catalytic hydrogenation of sucrose. Sorbitol is largely utilized in food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and personal care products as a sweetener, humectant, flavoring agent, and diuretic dehydrating agent. Sorbitol is also used as a laxative to treat occasional episodes of constipation. Unlike other polyols its moisture-stabilizing properties protect the product during storage, preventing drying and preserving its original freshness. Increasing health awareness among people owing to the increased prevalence of Diabetes is driving the market. According to WHO, about 422 million people worldwide have diabetes, and 1.5 million deaths every year can be directly linked to diabetes. Moreover, an ongoing study of the effect of sorbitol on aggregation and electronic properties of PEDOT: PSS to enhance the conductivity of organic solar cells or thermoelectric generators, has created a sea of opportunities for market expansion. Moreover, sorbitol is generally used as a sequestering agent, humectant, and dispersing agent in the textile industry. But the market decline is experienced as a result of price competition, the need to adhere to worldwide quality standards and laws, and the availability of substitutes. However, the increased demand from the food and beverage industry along with the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry is anticipated to expand the market in forecasted years.
