Limited availability of palm sugar due to geographical constraints, Fluctuating prices of raw materials impacting the overall cost of production
In Asia Pacific, countries like China, Japan, and South Korea are witnessing a surge in the demand for palm sugar.

The market in this region is expected to continue expanding as more consumers become aware of the health benefits of palm sugar.
In Europe, particularly in the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, the palm sugar market is also growing steadily.

As demand for palm sugar continues to rise in these countries, manufacturers are expanding their product offerings to meet the needs of the market.
