Asia
Corn syrup sentiment moved upward in Q1’26, mainly due to stronger upstream corn movement in China and active regional grain trade. China’s corn starch market strengthened in March as raw corn costs increased and starch demand improved from food and industrial users. India added supply support to the region, with 2025/26 corn exports raised to 650,000 tons and output forecast at a record 43.0 million tons. This improved regional availability but did not fully offset higher conversion and logistics costs. The Iran war and Strait of Hormuz closure raised shipping risk and fuel-linked freight costs, adding support to delivered values. Downstream demand from beverages, bakery, confectionery, and processed foods remained moderate.
Europe
Corn syrup sentiment was steady to slightly weak during Q1’26. Corn availability remained comfortable, and EU import flows shifted as buyers reduced dependence on delayed Ukrainian cargoes and sourced more from Brazil and the US. EU corn imports were projected at 21 million tons for MY 2025/26. Weak animal feed demand and wheat substitution reduced pressure on corn, which softened the feedstock side for starch sweeteners. Food and beverage demand stayed stable, but not strong enough to lift the market sharply. Hormuz-related freight and energy pressure prevented a deeper decline.
North America
Corn syrup sentiment was steady with mild upward pressure. Strong export demand supported upstream corn, as US corn export commitments reached 2,558 million bushels by February. This kept corn availability tighter for domestic processors despite a large supply base. Corn syrup demand from beverages, sauces, confectionery, and packaged foods remained steady. Hormuz disruption added freight and fuel cost pressure, but the stronger corn export pace was the main driver.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, corn syrup sentiment may stay supported if corn exports remain strong and freight risk continues. Better corn arrivals and softer buying could limit further upward movement.

Asia
In Asia, the price of corn syrup exhibited a moderate increase in 2025, primarily driven by the rising price of corn and the increasing import requirement in key markets such as China. The domestic crop issues resulted in higher import requirements, thereby increasing the price of the raw material and hence the price of corn syrup. The sentiment in the market remained positive due to stronger trade agreements and consistent demand from food and beverage manufacturers in the region. The countries in Southeast Asia also managed to sustain a consistent import requirement, thereby ensuring a stable market.
Europe
In Europe, the prices of corn syrup were stable throughout 2025, although they witnessed minor fluctuations. The expectations of a stable crop and low trading activity helped keep the corn market stable, which further helped maintain a stable supply of corn syrup. The countries of Ukraine and their surrounding areas were waiting for the new crop, and the low trading activity of Russia and its surrounding areas helped keep the prices stable. The export markets were a crucial factor for the direction of the corn syrup prices, and they witnessed a stable demand as well.
North America
In North America, corn syrup prices were seen to fluctuate significantly in 2025 due to changes in the corn market in the United States. High planting projections were seen in early 2025, and this was expected to result in a record crop yield, putting pressure on corn prices and impacting corn syrup production costs. However, due to high demand for exports, this kept the market in suspense despite the high supply in the market. The market was also affected by discussions on sweetener usage in beverages, impacting high fructose corn syrup production costs. At the end of 2025, there was some market recovery; however, it was an unstable market.
Corn syrup, or glucose syrup, is a sweet and viscous food syrup made by the breakdown of a source of starch like corn, rice, potato, rice etc. It is a colourless and odourless liquid mainly used as a sweetener in foods and also added volume while softening the texture.

Corn syrup is produced by converting corn starch into syrups through enzyme hydrolysis. Wet starch is mixed with a weak hydrochloric enzyme to break down the starch molecules, resulting in corn syrups. The syrups undergo filtration and refining for desired quality.
