However, the beverage industry is expected to grow at a below-average rate of 4–5 percent, owing to preference towards water than soft drinks in developed markets.
Sweetener Market Dynamics
Despite sugar prices decreasing and production increasing, alternative sweeteners are steadily eating into sugar’s market share, due to their lower prices and continuous availability. Increasing demand for artificial sweeteners from the calories conscious consumer segment is likely to drive the market in the forecast period. Due to the increasing use of artificial sweeteners in the baking industry, frozen foods, and other RTE foods, the market size is expected to increase further. However, shift in trend for natural sweeteners could impact the market share in the long term.
Demand for sugar vs. artificial sweeteners depends, to a great extent, on the domestic availability of sugar. In case of high sugar availability, there is less inclination towards sweeteners usage (e.g., Brazil, India) compared to countries that are deficit in sugar production (e.g., US and EU)
- Currently, Brazil is the only country producing sugar from cane at profits. On the other hand, in the EU, France and Germany are able to produce sugar from sugar beet profitably
- These factors are driving the global sweetener market since 1985. At present, in developed markets, sugar consumption is decreasing, whereas, in the developing markets, sugar consumption is increasing moderately
