The increasing consumer demand for low-calorie and reduced-sugar food and beverages is a major growth driver for the low-intensity sweeteners market. As health consciousness and awareness about the harmful effects of high sugar consumption rise, consumers are actively seeking healthier alternatives, driving the demand for low-intensity sweeteners.
Additionally, a major contributor to the growth of the market is the growing prevalence of diabetes and obesity globally. With a rising number of people diagnosed with these conditions, there is a greater emphasis on reducing sugar intake and adopting low-calorie sweeteners as a way to manage these health issues. This demographic trend is expected to fuel the demand for low-intensity sweeteners in the coming years.
The expanding food and beverage industry, particularly in developing markets, is also a significant growth driver for the low-intensity sweeteners market. As consumers in these regions become more affluent and health-conscious, there is a growing demand for healthier and low-calorie products, creating opportunities for the market to expand.
