The global artificial sweetener market is valued at US$8.492 billion in 2024. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.16% over the forecast period to reach a total market size of US$9.904 billion in 2029.

Artificial sweetening agents, also known as non-caloric flavoured sweeteners (NNS), can be made synthetically or from plant extracts They have a sweet taste comparable to sugar and contain no calories. Examples of artificial sweeteners include aspartame, saccharin, cyclamate, ace-K, sucralose and stevia. The FDA considers these sweeteners safe for human consumption. Due to their low caloric content and lack of harmful effects on teeth or the ability to raise blood sugar levels they have found increasing popularity among those living with diabetes mellitus and people watching their weight. There are ongoing debates about the effect of the health of artificial sweeteners considering that some studies have linked them to cancer, obesity and other diseases.

The increased incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, are the major causes of artificial sweeteners. People are now searching for good substitutes for sugar since many have realized the impact of excessive consumption of sugar like diabetes, obesity and teeth-related problems among others. From now until then it is estimated that more than 80% of diabetics will reside in low-and middle-income nations, where this epidemic is expected to increase at its highest rate. For individuals trying to control their body weight or cut down on calories, artificial sweeteners provide options with no-calorie or low-calorie options. Correspondingly, various condiments, desserts, drinks and snacks contain artificial sweeteners manufactured by food and beverage firms. For instance, PepsiCo and Coca-Cola use artificial sweeteners in making diet versions of their drinks as a strategy for enticing health-conscious customers. Moreover, this has led pharmaceutical firms to use artificial sweeteners in prescribed drugs, personal care products and animal feeds which is subsequently pushing up its market price. Additionally, lifestyle disease prevalence coupled with increased demand for low-calorie and sugar-free products is expected to cause immense growth within artificial sweetener trades.

The global artificial sweetener market, by type, is divided into six types- Aspartame, acesulfame K, saccharin, sucralose, neotame, and others. The US Food and Drug Administration states that aspartame is 200 times sweeter than sugar as it is a rare chemical compound that contains just the methyl ester of one specific dipeptide; wherein there are two amino acids namely hydrophilic aspartic acid (Asp) and hydrophobic phenylalanine (Phe).

Further, various reasons have contributed to the global acceptance of aspartame. To start with, its high sweetness intensity enables significant caloric intake reduction while maintaining taste quality. Hence, it proves to be the most effective cure for individuals seeking better health or weight loss. Its versatility is another advantage; besides being incorporated into baking and chewing gum, it can also be used in other types of foodstuffs or drinks like diet sodas or soft drinks.

The global artificial sweetener market, by application, is divided into five types: Dairy, beverages, confectionary and bakery, processed food, and others. To reduce the number of calories while maintaining the sweetness of different products, artificial sweeteners are frequently used in this sector. They are used to provide low-calorie substitutes for sugar-sweetened versions of various beverages, such as fruit juices, sports drinks, and diet sodas. Sweets, dairy products, confectionery items, and baked goods all contain artificial sweeteners to help consumers control their calorie intake or adhere to dietary restrictions.

Further, the processed goods segment of the artificial sweetener market is small but significant. Some of them entail an array of convenience and packaged foods where flavours are improved by the application of synthetic sugar-free sweeteners with little addition to calories. Usually, processed products such as ready-to-eat meals, sauces, dressings and snacks tend to contain these substances that attract health-conscious individuals who specifically look for low-calorie meal alternatives. Most manufacturers now produce extra low calorie processed foodstuffs but they have remained in less use than other sectors like beverage making.

During the projected timeframe, it is anticipated that the market for global artificial sweeteners will experience remarkable growth within North America due to the high incidence of obesity and diabetes in this country, which has led to its consumer culture being health conscious. The US Food and Drug Administration reported that as many as 60% of packaged foods as well as drinks contained artificial sweeteners in the year 2023. Also, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by 2024, around 42% of American adults would seek after low-calorie sweeteners actively while taking them as part of their diets. Furthermore, strict regulations on the amount of sugar in products and beverages support the region’s dominance by incentivizing producers to use artificial sweeteners.
