However, the non-nutritive natural sweeteners segment is projected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period of 2024-2031. This growth is driven by the growing demand for low-calorie and sugar-free products and the increasing adoption of non-nutritive natural sweeteners like stevia as a healthier option with no calories and a lower glycemic index than sugar.
Based on form, the natural sweeteners market is segmented into liquid and solid. In 2024, the liquid segment is expected to account for the larger share of the natural sweeteners market.

Also, there is increasing demand for various sports supplements and sports drinks, further supporting the growth of the market.
However, the food segment is projected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period of 2024-2031. This growth is driven by the growing food demand, increasing consumer preference for fat-free & sugar-free food products, changing food consumption patterns, and extensive use of natural sweeteners in different vegan food products.
Based on geography, the natural sweeteners market is majorly segmented into five regions: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.
