It is currently used as an alternative to sugar, as it keeps blood sugar levels low, and is widely used in processed foods like sugary drinks, jams and jellies, and other similar products. The main artificial sweeteners include aspartame, saccharin, and sodium benzoate. Aspartame is extensively used as a tabletop sweetener in the developed nations. It is approximately 200 times sweeter than regular sugar and is used in low-calorie desserts, sugarless chewing gum, cereal, tea, coffee, yogurt, milk formulations, etc.

MARKET DRIVERS

As people's awareness and health increase, the global market for artificial sweeteners is growing, leading to demand for low-calorie sugar substitutes and sugar-free products.

Furthermore, health problems, the harmful effects of sugar, and the spread of lifestyle diseases like heart disease and diabetes have led people to choose healthy alternatives like artificial sweeteners. Therefore, food processing companies promote low-calorie and sugar-free substitutes as their main products, promoting market growth. Of the five sweeteners, aspartame and sucralose are common additives used to sweeten various products in the food and beverage industry. Artificial sweeteners find greater application in the food and beverage industry, including soft drinks, sauces, chewing gum, jellies, dressings, baked goods, candy, fruit juices, ice cream, and more. The soft drink industry has been found to have the highest consumption of artificial sweeteners as the demand for low-sugar and diet drinks increases. Toxicological evidence and concerns about the safety of artificial sweeteners are the main limitations on the market. Aspartame has been a high-intensity sweetener in recent years and is supposed to grow during the outlook period. These products are calorie-free, which helps control weight by increasing diet drinks, and are assumed to increase market demand.

There is a significant demand for the production of healthy drinks like natural fruit juices. Realizing that diet has a profound effect on health, consumers were encouraged to change consumption patterns. More and more people are looking for a healthy alternative to 'less sugar'. The adoption of artificial sweeteners is also increasing significantly as we move into a health-savvy demographic of low-calorie foods and beverages. Food producers use high-strength artificial sweeteners to provide lighter products with fewer calories and attractive flavor properties based on consumer preference. Other products that contain artificial sweeteners as an integral part of the ingredient base include diet drinks, tabletop sweeteners, yogurt, and frozen dairy products. The power and investment of many existing and emerging players in the market are increasing. Consumers, despite the high obesity rate, the constant desire for delicious and sweet foods leads to an increase in demand for artificial sweeteners, which is anticipated to create numerous opportunities for market growth.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Its long-term use can cause diabetes, which interferes with the body's ability to regulate blood sugar, making it difficult for the market to grow.

Long-term consumption of artificial sweeteners can cause bloating, diarrhea, and gastrointestinal disorders.

These factors can hamper the growth of the global artificial sweetener industry.
