Food sweetener refers to a food additive that imparts sweet taste in various meals and beverages with the support of preservation, fermentation, baking, and caramelization techniques. These compounds can be procured from natural sources or processed artificially and are similar to sugar in terms of texture, taste, and interaction with ingredients. Apart from this, food sweeteners are low in calories and aids in preventing tooth decay, controlling blood sugar levels, resisting diabetes, and regulating weight. On account of these properties, they are utilized in soups, confectionery, candies, sauces, dressing, and other baked products. At present, it is commercially available in sucrose, starch, and high-intensity sweeteners (HIS) types.

Food Sweetener Market Trends:

The widespread adoption of food sweeteners across the food and beverage (F&B) sector can be attributed to the increasing demand for low-sugar and -calorie consumer goods, such as diet coke, yogurt, ice cream, and grain-based desserts. This represents one of the key factors driving the market growth. This is further supported by the rising health consciousness and the increasing prevalence of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and other lifestyle-based ailments across the globe. Additionally, the introduction of natural sweeteners composed from organic ingredients, such as stevia and honey, for imitating the taste of conventional sugar is acting as another growth-inducing factor.  Along with this, manufacturers are focusing on expanding their portfolios by including artificial and other sugar substitutes, such as xylitol, erythritol, and mannitol, in the formulation of confectionery items. This, in turn, is supporting the market growth significantly. Other factors, such as strategic collaborations amongst the key players and the rising investments in research and development (R&D) activities are creating a positive outlook for the global food sweetener market.
