Sugar Substitute Market: Overview

Sugar substitutes are also known as artificial sweeteners. They are used to replace added sugar in foods and drinks.

Factors such as the rapidly expanding food and beverages industry, growing investment in new product innovations, increasing trend of healthier and vegan lifestyles, growing health consciousness, and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases are mainly driving the market growth.

The growing commercialization of the sugar substitute and increasing collaboration between the food and sugar substitute manufacturers to develop customized and tailor-made products is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market.

However, factors such as the high cost of the sugar Substitute, lack of harmonized systems for sugar content, complex & stringent regulatory processes, and growing counterfeiting of the products are mainly restraining the market growth.

By type, the high-intensity sugar substitute segment dominated the market and is expected to keep its dominance during the forecast period owing to the growing demand for high-intensity sugar substitute products among diabetic patients. Furthermore, the U.S. FDA has recently approved many high-intensity sugar substitute products, which is expected to create lucrative opportunities for market growth during the forecast period.

By Region, the market is segmented into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa and Latin America. The North American region dominated the global market and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period, owing to the growing adoption of sugar substitutes in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

The growing supportive regulations and increasing investment by food and beverage companies in sugar substitute-based product development are mainly driving the market growth of this region.

The Asia Pacific region is expected to grow at the fastest growth rate during the forecast period owing to the rapidly expanding food and beverage industry coupled with increasing diabetic patients.
