KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Food additives, an alternative to sucrose and other mono and disaccharides that provide sweetness, are referred to as alternative sweeteners. Alternative sweeteners are also called as sugar substitutes, high-intensity sweeteners, or non-nutritive sweeteners. Commonly known alternative sweeteners are aspartame (equal), saccharin (sweet and low), and sucralose (splenda). These alternative sweeteners contain zero or negligible calories and are multiple times sweeter than table sugar. Therefore, a lesser amount of sweeteners is required to achieve the same level of sweetness. A total of six alternative sweeteners approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, acesulfame potassium (acesulfame-K, or Ace-K), advantame, and neotame. According to the FDA, various sugar substitutes are "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS).


Aspartame is a low-calorie alternative sweetener combining two amino acids, phenylalanine and aspartic acid. It is found in frozen desserts, yogurt, pudding, dry dessert mixes, soft drinks, and chewing gums. Acesulfame-K is a no-calorie sugar substitute, often used with other sweeteners. It can be found in processed foods and beverages, including candy, soft drinks, baked goods, and frozen desserts. It is also used in various oral hygiene products and medicines (mouthwash and toothpaste). Saccharin is 200 to 7,000 times sweeter than sugar, depending on its use. It is usually added in processed foods by its combination with other sugar substitutes. Stevia is a plant-based alternative sweetener with no calories. Purified extracts from the leaves of the plant are known as steviol glycosides. Stevia is mainly used as a substitute while baking. Sucralose is a no-calorie alternative sweetener and is 600 times sweeter than sugar. It is used in vitamins, medicines, and nutritional supplements.

The ongoing trend of living a low-calorie, well-balanced lifestyle is driving the market growth. The rising demand for low-calorie sweeteners due to increased health concerns, such as obesity and diabetes, is the key factor driving the expansion of the alternative sweeteners market share. The side effects on health due to the high consumption of foods with alternative sweeteners will likely restrain the market growth.    

Impact of COVID-19 on the Alternative Sweeteners Market:


The COVID-19 pandemic positively impacted the alternative sweeteners market growth. There was a rising focus on reducing white crystals consumption which, in turn, aided in positive growth of the market at the end of 2020. There was a decrease or stagnation in sugar consumption in 2020, owing to the rising inclination toward the consumption of alternative sweeteners and plant-based and natural products. Increased health consciousness among consumers resulted in lowering their sugar intake, thus surging the demand for low-caloric and zero-sugar food products, thereby positively impacting the market growth.
