Just in 2025, an estimated 177.33 million metric tons of sugar is projected to be consumed by humans. This amounts to a nearly 15% rise since 2011, with numbers set to increase even further.
01. United States
The biggest consumer of sugar in the world is the United States. America takes the number one spot by quite a stretch, consuming 24 grams (0.85 ounces) of sugar more per day than Germans.
2. Germany
If you’ve ever been to Germany, you’ve surely been tempted by the scent of freshly baked goods. Nearly half of the population eats dessert on a daily basis and average a sugar intake of 102.9 grams (3.6 ounces).
3. The Netherlands
The Dutch are the third-largest consumers of sugar in the world. The average daily consumption is about 102.5 grams (3.5 ounces) per person.
4. Ireland
The Irish are particularly fond of sugary drinks. The nation’s residents purchase over 411 million liters (109 million gallons) of sugar on an annual basis.
5. Australia
Australians take the fifth spot on the list of countries that consume the most sugar. The average Australian ingests 95.6 grams (3.4 ounces) of sugar per day.
6. Belgium
It's no secret that Belgian chocolate is iconic. Therefore, it makes sense that the majority of the nation’s consumption comes from confectionery treats.
7. United Kingdom
The United Kingdom comes in as the seventh-largest consumer of sugar in the world. Each person in the UK consumes about 93.2 grams (3.3 ounces) of sugar per day.
8. Mexico
Mexico, which has earned the moniker "Coca-Cola Nation," is the eighth-biggest sugar consumer in the world, mostly from sugary drinks.
9. Finland
Approximately one-fifth of all sugar consumption in Finland comes from sugary drinks. Can you guess how much sugar the average Finn consumes on a daily basis?
10. Canada
Canadians are the 10th highest sugar consumers in the world. Statistics show that nearly two-thirds of Canadians consume more than the daily recommended amount of sugar.
