In 2018, artificial sweeteners worth US$ 9.5 billion were consumed by the global food & beverage industry, accounting for nearly 71% revenue share of the artificial sweeteners market. While stakeholders in the food & beverage industry remain the target customers for market players, pharmaceuticals industry is also expected to emerge as a preeminent consumer of artificial sweeteners in the coming years. Leading market players are expected to foray into the pharmaceuticals industry with innovative pharmaceutical sweetening agents to capture new growth opportunities in this landscape.
Asia Pacific excluding Japan Leads the Pack
Consumers’ awareness about the negative health effects of consuming sugar remains the linchpin of the regional market for artificial sweeteners, in both developing and developed economies. Yet, with a mounting number of consumers, especially the young population, making healthier food choices than ever, the demand for artificial sweeteners is significantly high in the Asia Pacific region excluding Japan (APEJ). The region accounts for more than one-fourth revenue share of the global market, and will continue to create profitable sales opportunities for artificial sweetener manufacturers in the coming years.
Aspartame Remains Sought-after
Aspartame is one of the most commonly used ingredient in artificial sweeteners, as it is much sweeter than sugar and thereby, more cost-efficient than any other artificial sweeteners. Furthermore, its use as a tabletop sweetener is boosting the direct sales of aspartame. Manufacturers in the artificial sweeteners market are also aiming to target pharmaceutical manufacturers to meet the increasing demand for aspartame as a flavouring and sweetening agent in medicines. However, ambiguities about the carcinogenic properties of aspartame may impact its demand in the coming years, which is likely to triggering market players to resort to newer ingredients of artificial sweeteners.
Aspartame is the most commonly used artificial sweetener
Demand for sucralose may pick pace in the coming years
Food & beverage remains the largest end user
Pharmaceuticals industry to create new opportunities
Beverages account for maximum consumption
Bakery goods emerge as a lucrative application
How Growth will Unfold
Consumers’ inclination towards diet drinks has been influencing the sales of artificial sweeteners as sweetening as well as flavouring agents in the beverage industry. Increasing sales ‘sugar-free’ soft drinks remains among the leading driving engines for the growth of the artificial sweeteners market in the beverage industry. However, their applications in baked goods and confectionery products are expected to encourage manufacturers to diversify their product range to suit the changing end user demands. By 2026, the consumption of artificial sweeteners in beverages and bakery goods are expected to hold equal revenue share of the global market.
