One of the popular products of the agave plant is agave syrup, which is a naturally occurring vegan sweetener. It comes from the sap of the agave plant and has a slightly thinner consistency than honey. It usually has a brown appearance. It is widely used in the food and beverage industry, pharma, nutraceuticals, and food supplements. As it is 30% sweeter than refined sugars, less quantity is required for the production process, reducing the cost associated with additional sweeteners.
Growing innovations in the global market are creating new growth potential for agave nectar. The Groovy Food Company added spicy agave nectar to its product portfolio in 2023. This is made to be used as a topping for pizzas, tray bakes, and salads. As the manufacturers further create product innovations in various applications of agave nectar, they fuel the market's expansion during the study period.
Agave nectar is known for its ability to enhance the taste, texture, and color of products. Its high solubility property is driving its adoption rate in households, restaurants, bakeries, and more. The USDA Food Database estimates that one tablespoon of agave has 64 calories, 16 grams of carbohydrates, and 14 grams of sugar. Fructose and glucose make up around 80% and 20%, respectively, of the sugars in agave. Agave nectar is a good alternative to sugar as it absorbs glucose, which assists in the prevention of diabetes. In fact, it aids in lowering the amount of glucose and sucrose, which is a major concern among consumers. As consumers realize the importance of agave nectar over other sugar alternatives, it will fuel the demand for agave nectar in the future.
