Rising Demand for Low-Calorie and Diabetic-Friendly Sweeteners
The India polyol sweeteners market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing demand for low-calorie and diabetic-friendly sugar alternatives. On World Diabetes Day 2024, India reiterated the urgent need to further strengthen diabetes prevention, management, and equitable access to healthcare services, with chronic non-communicable disease (NCD) affecting 10.1 Crore (approximately 101 Million) individuals, as revealed by the ICMR-INDAIB study. Due to a rise in diabetes-related complications, the demand for sugar-free products in India is witnessing a significant increase. Polyols, including sorbitol, xylitol, and maltitol, are gaining popularity as they provide sweetness without spiking blood glucose levels. Food and beverage manufacturers are incorporating these sweeteners into products such as sugar-free candies, chewing gums, and baked goods to cater to health-conscious consumers. Additionally, the implementation of favorable government initiatives is promoting healthy eating habits and stricter sugar regulations, which is positively impacting the India polyol sweeteners market outlook. The trend is also supported by the expanding functional food and nutraceutical sectors, where polyols are used as safe sugar substitutes. As consumer awareness about obesity and metabolic disorders rises, the demand for polyol sweeteners is expected to grow steadily in India.
Expansion in the Food & Beverage Industry Driving Market Growth
The Indian food and beverage industry is a key driver for the polyol sweeteners market growth, with increasing applications in confectionery, dairy, and beverages. As consumers seek healthier alternatives to traditional sugar, manufacturers are reformulating products with polyols to meet this demand. The confectionery sector, in particular, is witnessing a rise in sugar-free chocolates and candies made with maltitol and erythritol. A research report from the IMARC Group indicates that the market for sugar-free confectionery in India was valued at USD 72.23 Million in 2024. It is projected to grow to USD 120.22 Million by 2033, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.38% from 2025 to 2033. Additionally, the rising popularity of functional beverages and low-calorie drinks increases the usage of polyols as sweetening agents. The growth of e-commerce and organized retail is enabling easy access to sugar-free products for urban and semi-urban consumers. Furthermore, the increasing disposable income and changing dietary preferences are encouraging the adoption of premium sugar-free products. With the food industry’s continuous innovation and product development, the polyol sweeteners market in India is poised for robust growth.
