Global Alternative Sweetener Market - 2023-2030

Market Overview

The Global Alternative Sweetener Market reached US$ 3.8 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 5.2 billion by 2030 and grow with a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period 2023-2030. The rising demand for low-calorie sweeteners drives the global alternative sweeteners market expansion.

Sweetness, low price, taste, nutrition, bulkiness, preservation qualities, heat resistance, and blending abilities are benefits offered by alternative sweeteners. Due to the subsequent drive, the public has now been influenced to live a low-calorie, well-balanced lifestyle. Consumers are increasingly looking at the promises on product labels, and the lack of sugars still affects their purchasing decisions.

Consumers are being encouraged to make more healthy choices by rising obesity rates, worry over the possibility of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and other factors. Customers prefer low-calorie sweeteners for diabetes and obesity because they have few or no calories and help people manage their weight and blood sugar levels.

Market Dynamics

The Change in Consumer Preferences is Estimated to Drive the Alternative Sweeteners Market Growth.

A fast-paced lifestyle and an increased preference for convenience food are expected to be some of the major drivers for the food processing industry. Many manufacturers are switching to alternative sweeteners for production. Furthermore, increased consumption of soft drinks, especially carbonated soft drinks, is expected to drive the demand for artificial sweeteners in the U.S.

The changing consumer preference drives the demand for healthier, safer food products with high nutritional value. Thus, increasing demand for such food products is expected to drive demand for sugar substitutes such as high-intensity sweeteners, and rare sugars. Further, according to a report by New Nutrition Business, in 2020, two-thirds of the population in Europe stated that they were trying to lower their sugar intake.

The Rising Diabetes and Obesity Concerns Drive the Global Alternative Sweeteners Market Growth.

The rise in health concerns and an increase in the incidence of diabetes & obesity are the key factors driving alternative sweeteners market expansion. Furthermore, the market growth is driven by increased demand for low-calorie sweeteners and a surge in the obese population, particularly in developing nations. Accordingly, the World Obesity Federation's 2023 atlas predicts that 51% of the world, or more than 4 billion people, will be obese or overweight within 12 years.

People are now fully aware of alternative sweeteners' benefits, and this increased the usage of alternative sweeteners in all aspects. For instance, consumers utilize stevia extract, a sweetener derived from the leaves of the stevia bush, in addition to monk fruit extract. Alternative sweeteners have replaced sugar as a food additive to prevent health-related problems.

Health Concerns Related to Alternative Sweeteners Restrains the Market Growth.

The side effects on health associated with the high consumption of food items with alternative sweeteners will pose a significant challenge to the market's growth. The side effects of artificial sweeteners may include digestive issues, a higher risk of cancer, increased blood pressure, affecting people's immune systems, and others. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, evidence suggests that frequent use of artificial sweeteners can limit tolerance for more complex tastes.

Artificial sweeteners are 200 to 600 times sweeter than sugar. Increased consumption of such sugars leads to a higher tolerance for sweetness which, in turn, means that your body begins to crave more of these hyper-sweet foods. Fluctuations in the prices of raw materials and supply chain disruptions due to the pandemic will further restrict the market's growth scope. Stringent and strict government norms concerning sweeteners containing specific chemicals and ingredients also hamper market growth.
