Cyclamate is an artificial sweetener, reported to be almost thirty to fifty times sweeter than sugar, making it the least potent among currently available commercial sweeteners. Michael Sveda discovered it at the University of Illinois as early as 1937. It is typically cheaper than sucralose and heat-stable. While this usually leaves an undesirable aftertaste, it is generally considered to be less than saccharin or acesulfame potassium. Cyclamate is mostly used synergistically with other sweeteners, especially with saccharin, to mask off-taste and is much less expensive than sucralose. It is the most affordable heat-stable sweetener. One of the most common uses is to combine it with saccharin to get a synergistic effect.
Additionally, cyclamate as a sweetener has been subject to heated debate regarding its adverse effects on humans. It has been said that high doses are linked to cases of bladder cancer and testicular atrophy among animals, thus banning cyclamate from food products by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. However, many argue that cyclamate is safe to use under normal usage levels, with more than 55 countries approving its use. Cyclamate is considered safe by the European Union, allowing it to be used in foods, particularly in beverages. It is not permitted in the U.S. for food uses, but it is ordinarily used in nonfood materials like toothpaste and mouthwash.
The cyclamate market is consistently growing due to increasing consumer acceptance of low-calorie sweeteners in the food and beverage sectors. Some important growth factors include people's health consciousness, cyclamate's ability to provide sweetness without adding calories to the food, its cost-effectiveness, and high-temperature stability. However, the existing barriers in the market include regulatory restrictions in certain countries and safety concerns. Though cyclamate is said to be safe generally, few studies raise concerns about its health effects. Despite these issues, the cyclamate market is highly probable to expand because more people are inclined towards low-calorie sweeteners.
The cyclamate market is anticipated to witness a considerable surge owing to its relation with the thriving food and beverage industry. The growing need for healthier alternatives and low-calorie and sugar-free products is largely driven by rising disposable income and changing lifestyle trends.
Emerging markets like Asia-Pacific are also stepping up their pace. They are growing rapidly in their food and beverage industry, offering new opportunities to form new business leads for cyclamate.
Based on the information derived from the Department of Science & Technology titled "Indian Food & Beverages SSI Survey" (IFBSSI), the Indian food processing industry is expected to reach $535 billion by FY 2025-26 while having huge investment opportunities in the food retail sector due to favorable policies and fiscal incentives. Further, the global industrial automation market is projected to grow to $297 billion by 2026, where food and beverage applications hold 11% of the market, promoting the demand for cyclamate in the market space.
Additionally, it is a non-caloric sweetening agent that reduces sugar content in many commodities. Its usage has been controversial in some countries but is widely accepted and used in many regions. Its cost-effectiveness is becoming an attractive alternative for manufacturers as well. With the continuously thriving food and beverage industries and the increasing demand for healthier options, cyclamate has a great opportunity for future establishment.
Countries like China, India, and Indonesia are experiencing rapid economic growth, driving increased demand for food and beverage products. The combination of these factors is expected to fuel the demand for cyclamate in the Asia-Pacific region, making it a major market for this sweetener. As the region continues to develop and its population grows, the demand for low-calorie and sugar-free options will likely increase, solidifying the region's position as a key market for cyclamate.
Countries like China, India, and Indonesia have already shown fast growth acceleration, increasing demand for food and beverage products. Combining these factors makes this region one of the important markets for cyclamate sweeteners. As the population increases and develops, the demand for low-calorie and sugar-free products will increase in the region, making Asia Pacific a key market in cyclamate.
