Sugar substitute products regulate the sugar intake of consumers and hence, play an important role in the health and well-being of an individual. The potential benefits of consuming these substitutes are highly valuable for all stake holders involved. However, various types and specific characteristics of each type restrict the applicability of these products in a generic manner. An in-depth research on these components over the years has resulted in innovating successful formulations for each application and commercializing them.

The North American markets approach maturity in this industry. However, it has been revived by the surge in demand for stevia and other polyols. Most of the countries in the Asia-Pacific and ROW regions are still in their developing stages. The rising population and resultant demands for food production drive the markets in these developing regions. China and India are at the forefront of this growth trend. It is, however, the stevia market in Europe, which has given a major boost to the regional as well as the global market. The flourishing food processing industry and the increasing consumer awareness regarding benefits of sugar substitutes are key elements that drive the markets in these regions.

The beverage segment has dominated the demand for sugar substitutes globally, except in the Asia-Pacific region, whereas healthcare and personal care products have resulted in higher market demands. However, the food segment has been the key driver for the market and continues to be so. Health concerns, consumer awareness, flourishing functional food market, confections and bakery, are some of the key factors that drive the segment’s increasing demands for sugar substitutes.
