Cyclamate Market - Forecasts From 2025 To 2030

The cyclamate market was valued at US$1.874 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.77% over the forecast period to reach a total market size of US$2.362 billion by 2029.

Cyclamate is an artificial sweetener with less calorie content. It is mostly sold as sodium or calcium cyclamate and is the most used artificial sweetener in sugar-free and reduced-calorie foods and beverages. It is about 30 to 50 times sweeter than sugar, with a pleasing mild sweetness. This is why it can be easily mixed with other artificial sweeteners for better flavor and to mask the bitter aftertaste. Cyclamate was synthesized for the first time in the 1930s. Soon, it became known as a low-cost substitute for sugar, especially for diet sodas, desserts, and tabletop sweeteners.

Cyclamate is also very stable. It is resistant to heat and acids and highly versatile in baking, cooking, and industrial food processing. It is stable and mild and has a very broad range of applications for long-shelf-life products, from baked goods and beverages to dairy products and canned foods. Cyclamate is soluble in water, thus very easy to mix with liquid in powdered form, making it consistent in sweetness levels in various food products.

The increasing income from the food and beverage industry is anticipated to fuel the market for cyclamate in the projected period.

For instance, according to the Statistics of South Africa, the total income from the food and beverage industry in South Africa was R72,297 million in 2018, which increased to R99,042 million in 2022. The contribution from restaurants and coffee shops was 47.2% in 2018, which increased to 51.8% in 2022, becoming the largest contributor to the income in 2022. Hence, with the growing demand for the food and beverage sector, the demand for cyclamate is expected to propel. 

According to the Open Government Licence (OGL), Government of the United Kingdom the Soft Drink Industry Levy (SDIL), the provisional SDIL was £338 million for the financial year 2023-2024, compared to £355 million in the previous financial year in 2022 to 2023. 

Consumer awareness of the health risks associated with high sugar intake has led to increasing demand for low-calorie sweeteners. Cyclamate is an excellent alternative when combined with other sweeteners such as saccharin or used alone due to its favorable cost factor as a sugar substitute in various applications, including beverages, baked goods, and processed foods. The increasing cases of diabetes are anticipated to positively influence the market for cyclamate in the projected period. For instance, according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), in 2045, every 1 in 8 adults, approximately 783 million will be living with diabetes, and over 90% of the people will suffer from type 2 diabetes. 

What are the drivers of the Cyclamate Market?

• Cyclamate is used in baked goods as a valuable low-calorie sweetener, allowing manufacturers to manufacture within the demand of healthy, reduced sugars products without affecting texture and flavor. Because it is stable at high temperatures, it's suitable for baking conditions where sweetness doesn't fade during production. The increasing exports of baked goods are anticipated to fuel the market growth in the coming years. For instance, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the U.S. baked goods exports were US$4.35 billion, with a total volume of 1.45 metric tonnes. The highest importer of U.S. baked goods was Canada, followed by Mexico, Japan, and South Korea. 
• Cyclamate supports obesity management by providing an alternative that has low-calorie intake. It is an artificially sweetening compound that reduces the sugar intake of most people without affecting the taste, which is pretty difficult in weight loss and maintenance diets. This allows a person to enjoy flavors they crave without calorie addition and, thus, aids in total calorie intake reduction. With the rising number of people suffering from obesity, the demand for cyclamate is anticipated to grow in the coming years. For instance, according to the World Health Organization, 1 in 8 people were suffering from obesity in 2022; that is, more than 1 billion people in the world were suffering from obesity. The worldwide adult obesity cases have quadrupled in comparison to 1990, and more than 2.5 billion adults, or 43% of the adult population, were suffering from obesity. 

Segment Analysis of the Cyclamate Market:

• By form, the powder segment is expected to hold a significant share of the cyclamate market. 

The cyclamate market by form is bifurcated into liquid and powder form. The powdered form of cyclamate is anticipated to hold a substantial market share because it is so versatile and easy to use in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical formulations. The powdered sweetener is easily measured, mixed, and dispersed, making it suitable for large manufacturing processes. This format is useful in dry mixes, like powdered drink blends, instant dessert mixes, and several medications, in which uniform sweetness and stability are critical. It is also relatively low-priced, so it will likely appeal to manufacturers in high-demand areas requiring lower-cost, low-calorie sweeteners.

• Asia Pacific is anticipated to hold a significant share of the coupling agent market 

The Asia Pacific cyclamate market is rapidly increasing due to a mix of factors, including increased health consciousness, growing demand for low-calorie and sugar-free products, and the fact that cyclamate is less expensive than other sweeteners.

Cyclamate is extensively used in the Asia Pacific region, considering the various regulatory frameworks across nations that allow its usage, particularly in countries like China, Indonesia, and the Philippines. 

It has managed to find favor in various applications, from beverages to baked goods and processed foods. It serves as an inexpensive option to meet the growing demand for low-calorie alternatives in this region. Increased urbanization and rising disposable incomes throughout the Asia Pacific lead to increasing health-consciousness in consumers and a higher preference for better-for-you food choices, further supporting the cyclamate market. Furthermore, the food and beverage industry is shifting towards an innovative diet with low sugar content due to the properties of cyclamate, such as stability and flavor enhancement.
