Susana Sweeteners, The idea Company, Dandy Lions Limited, and Steviva Ingredients are some of the key companies performing in the global agave syrup market.

Agave syrup is obtained by processing agave nectar, which is obtained from several agave species, such as Agave salmiana and Agave tequilana. Agave syrup is thicker than honey and is sweeter than it. The low glycemic index of agave syrup makes the product beneficial for patients suffering from diabetes. Fructose percentage is high in agave syrup and the product has various organic compounds within it, such as hydroxybutanone, propionaldehyde, and vanillin.
