Trends  

• Expansion of Plant-Based Sweeteners: The plant-based trend extends to sweeteners, with growing interest in plant-derived products such as stevia and monk fruit. These are being incorporated into a variety of food categories, including dairy alternatives, snacks, and bakery products. In 2022, Ingredion Incorporated saw an increase in demand for plant-based sweeteners from manufacturers of vegan and plant-based foods. 

• Innovation in Blended Sweeteners: Blended sweeteners, which combine natural and artificial ingredients, are being developed to offer better taste profiles and improved functionality. These sweeteners provide a balance between taste and low-calorie content. In 2023, Cargill launched a new blended sweetener product line, combining stevia and erythritol for reduced-calorie sugar alternatives in beverages. 

• Personalized Nutrition and Sweeteners: The rise of personalized nutrition is influencing the development of customized sweeteners that align with individual dietary needs, such as for diabetic patients or those on low-sugar diets. In 2023, DSM began collaborating with food tech companies to develop personalized sweetener solutions for consumers with specific dietary requirements.

Catalysts 

• Demand for Low-Calorie Food & Beverages: With consumers becoming more conscious of calorie intake and weight management, there is a growing demand for low-calorie food and beverages that utilize sweeteners instead of sugar. This trend is especially strong in categories such as soft drinks, snacks, and desserts. In 2023, Coca-Cola reported that its low-calorie beverages, made using aspartame and sucralose, accounted for a significant portion of its sales in response to consumer demand for healthier choices. 

• Supportive Regulatory Environment: Many regulatory bodies around the world are encouraging the reduction of sugar consumption, prompting manufacturers to adopt sweeteners in their product formulations. Government guidelines aimed at curbing sugar intake are indirectly boosting the sweetener market. 

• Growth in Diabetic Population: The global rise in diabetes cases is leading to an increased demand for sweeteners that do not raise blood sugar levels. Products containing artificial and natural sweeteners are becoming essential for people with diabetes, offering alternatives to sugar-laden products. In 2022, the International Diabetes Federation reported an estimated 537 million adults living with diabetes globally, boosting demand for sweeteners.

Restraints 

• Supply Chain Disruptions: Artificial sweeteners, such as saccharin and aspartame, often leave an unpleasant aftertaste, which affects consumer satisfaction. This taste issue limits their application in various food products, particularly in those that require high sensory appeal. In 2022, PepsiCo reformulated its diet soda line to reduce the aftertaste of artificial sweeteners following consumer feedback about dissatisfaction with flavor profiles. 

• Cybersecurity Threats: Regulatory hurdles around the approval of new sweeteners or changes in their usage can limit market growth. Each region has different safety and health standards, which can delay the introduction of innovative sweeteners. 

• Regulatory Issues: The supply chain for natural sweeteners, such as stevia and monk fruit, is vulnerable to disruptions caused by environmental factors, such as droughts and changing weather patterns. This affects the availability and pricing of these sweeteners, impacting their adoption.
