The growing trend towards natural and organic products has created significant opportunities for the sweetener market.

A sweetener is a substance that is used to make food and drinks taste sweet. It can be natural sweeteners , like sugar from sugar cane or honey, or artificial sweeteners, like aspartame or sucralose. Sweeteners are added to a wide range of products, from sodas and candies to baked goods and sauces, to enhance their flavor. Some sweeteners are low in calories or do not raise blood sugar levels, making them popular choices for people who want to limit their sugar intake or manage health conditions like diabetes.

Sugar is the most common food additive that is used in the production of different kinds of food & beverages. It adds taste to the product, ensuring that the food & beverage maintains its distinct taste and increases the shelf life. Sugar in the diet, particularly in liquid form, increases the risk of dental cavities, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. In 2016, Soft Drinks Industry Levy introduced a sugar tax, and in 2018, it was implemented and adopted by 39 countries from different regions. The tax was issued to encourage healthy habits and overcome obesity-related ailments in consumers. The concept was that if the sugar content of a beverage exceeded 5g per 100 mL, the tax would be charged. This law posed a challenge for manufacturers, particularly small-scale industries that had no other option than sugar.

The sugar tax compelled the manufacturers to increase the prices of the goods to benefit from sales. Large-scale manufacturers, on the other hand, have turned to using sugar alternatives to avoid paying taxes. Currently, after the advent of the pandemic, the governments of different countries have increased the strictness toward the use of sugar and have increased the tax amount to discourage manufacturers and consumers to opt for sugary products. The sugar tax is acting as a restraint on the sweetener market growth.

The adoption of high-intensity sweeteners is heavily reliant on the unique needs of end users, which promotes the introduction of new rivals.

Furthermore, products differ in nature, resulting in substantial entry barriers for new entrants. As a result, the risk of new entrants to the worldwide market is low to moderate. End customers demand efficient and cost-effective sweeteners; nevertheless, the products on the market have significant restrictions due to concentration levels and other environmental laws.
