The sugar industry subsumes the production, processing and marketing of sugars (mostly saccharose and fructose). Globally, most sugar is extracted from sugar cane (~80 % predominantly in the tropics) and sugar beet(~ 20%, mostly in temperate climate like in the U.S. or Europe).
Sugar is an essential basis for soft drinks/sweetened beverages, convenience foods, fast food, candy / sweets, confectionery, baking products and the respective industries.
A 2013 report from BCC Research estimates the global market for sugar and sweeteners at about $77.5 billion in 2012 with sugar comprising an almost 85% share. The market is thought to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 4.6%.
Around 460 million tonnes of sugar is produced every year. The largest producers are Brazil (72%), India (15%) and the European Union (10%). Altogether, there are more than 123 sugar-producing countries, but only 30% of the produce is traded on the international market. In 2011 global sugar export trade was worth $47bn with $33.5bn of sugar exports are from developing countries and $12.2bn from developed countries.

Sugar Industry is also an agro-based industry like cotton textile. The sugar mills that crush the canes to extract juice and finally prepare sugar are located close to the cane growing areas. The juice starts drying up if it is not extracted within a day. Therefore, the major sugar cane growing regions of the world are centres of sugar industries. Sugar beet grown in temperate countries is also used for processing sugar.
The largest producers of sugar are Brazil, India, Thailand, Pakistan and Australia.
In India, sugar mills are located mainly in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Bihar, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu.
