Saudi Arabia Low Calorie Sweeteners Market Trends:

Rising diabetic population

The growing diabetic population is positively influencing the market in Saudi Arabia. As diabetes is becoming more prevalent due to sedentary lifestyles, poor dietary habits, and genetic predisposition, both patients and healthcare providers are prioritizing the use of low calorie sweeteners in daily diets. As per industry reports, diabetes emerged as a significant public health issue in Saudi Arabia, with an estimated incidence of 18.5% among adults in the country. Low calorie sweeteners offer a way to enjoy sweet-tasting food items without the harmful effects of refined sugar, making them essential in diabetic meal planning. Pharmacies and health stores are increasing their stock of such products to cater to the growing demand. Public health campaigns are further promoting awareness about managing diabetes, reinforcing the importance of reducing sugar intake. Consequently, even non-diabetic individuals are adopting low calorie sweeteners as part of a preventive health strategy. The market also benefits from ongoing product innovations, offering sweeteners with better taste profiles and natural origins like stevia and monk fruit, appealing to diabetic individuals looking for safe, effective, and pleasant-tasting alternatives. This ongoing shift in dietary habits is fueling the growth of the market across Saudi Arabia.
