The saccharin market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.42 billion in 2024 to $1.46 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rise in the diabetic population, demand for low-calorie and sugar-free products, government regulations on sugar consumption, growth in the food and beverage industry, and the cost-effectiveness of saccharin production
The saccharin market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.74 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing health consciousness, expansion of the functional food market, rise in obesity and metabolic disorders, increased adoption of low-glycemic diets, and global population growth. Major trends in the forecast period include technological innovations in sweetener blends, advancements in food technology, clean labels and natural sweeteners, plant-based and vegan products, and R&D focus on taste enhancement.
The projected surge in the consumption of calorie-free and sugar-free foods is poised to drive the growth of the saccharin market in the foreseeable future. Calorie-free signifies that the food has minimal or no calories, exerting little to no impact on the body. On the other hand, sugar-free denotes that a food item contains less than half a milligram of either artificial or naturally occurring sugar. The escalating preference for calorie-free and sugar-free foods is anticipated to propel the saccharin market forward, given saccharin's role as a sugar substitute with low or zero calories. In 2022, the International Food Information Council reported that nearly three-quarters (73%) of Americans are actively seeking to reduce (59%) or eliminate (14%) sugar intake. Additionally, there is a notable inclination among 31% of Gen Z and 30% of millennials to opt for low or no-calorie sugars in the US. Hence, the heightened consumption of calorie-free and sugar-free foods acts as a driving force for the saccharin market.
The increasing trend of people embracing dieting is expected to contribute to the growth of the saccharin market in the years ahead. Dieting involves the conscious control of food intake, often aimed at achieving specific health-related objectives such as weight loss, weight maintenance, or overall well-being improvement. Saccharin, a prevalent sugar replacement, is extensively used in various food and beverage products targeted at individuals practicing dieting or aiming to curtail their sugar consumption. According to the 2022 Food and Health Survey by the International Food Information Council, the percentage of Americans adhering to a diet or eating pattern surged to 52% in 2022 from 39% in 2021. This dietary shift highlights an increased reliance on saccharin as a sugar alternative, contributing to the growth of the saccharin market.
The escalating prevalence of diabetes and hyperglycemia globally is set to fuel the growth of the saccharin market in the coming years. Diabetes, characterized by elevated blood sugar levels, and hyperglycemia, marked by increased blood glucose levels, necessitate dietary adjustments, making saccharin a suitable sugar alternative for individuals dealing with these conditions. Statistics reveal a substantial impact, with one in every twenty Australians affected by diabetes, amounting to 1.3 million people or 5.3% of the population. Similarly, the National Diabetes Statistics Report for 2022 indicated that diabetes affects 38.4 million individuals, constituting 11.6% of the population in the United States. This prevalence underscores the pivotal role of saccharin as a sugar substitute in managing diabetes and hyperglycemia, driving the saccharin market's growth.
Major companies in the saccharin market are enhancing their production capabilities by investing in new facilities, such as reagent manufacturing plants, to meet the increasing demand and strengthen their market presence. Reagent manufacturing involves producing chemical substances, or reagents, that trigger reactions or detect the presence of other substances in scientific and industrial processes. Reagents play a vital role in the synthesis process where saccharin is chemically produced. For example, in June 2023, Merck KGaA, a Germany-based science and technology company, announced the launch of reagent manufacturing capacity at its Nantong facility in China, with an investment of $76.06 million. This expansion is expected to significantly boost annual output by several thousand tons of high-purity reagents, serving both the pharmaceutical and industrial sectors, including the food and beverage industries.
