APAC Food Sweetener Market Trends
Rise in Applications of Sweeteners in Processed Foods
The quest to reduce calories has made food manufacturers look for sucrose replacement with a variety of substitutes. Presently, a majority of their product offerings are sweetened with bulk sweeteners or sugar substitutes. Sweeteners are now becoming a ubiquitous part of products, like ketchup, whole-wheat bread, salad dressing, yogurt, and even breakfast cereals. As the global obesity epidemic and its significant impact on health, consumers are looking for ways to curb their sugar intake and protect themselves from the negative health effects of weight gain. This has led the Asia-Pacific region to record the highest number of new product launches with low-calorie sweeteners such as Stevia which would provide subtle taste to the food. Manufacturers choose the low-calorie sweetener, either on its own or as a blend, based on taste considerations, stability, and cost.
