China Food Sweetener Market Analysis
China's Food Sweetener Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 1.01% over the next five years.
The demand for food sweeteners is increasing in China due to the increasing consumption of sugar-based products like food and beverages. Due to rising urbanization, the growing middle-class population, the increasing number of working women, and the rise in disposable income, the demand for processed, packaged, and convenience food is increasing. Owing to this, the demand for sugar-based solutions and products is increasing among market players. Additionally, health-conscious consumers are opting for the consumption of products that are prepared with clean labels and natural ingredients due to which demand for natural sweeteners is also increasing in the country.
Furthermore, the application of sweeteners in different industries like pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, beverages, bakery, confectionery, and many more is increasing as they are calorie-free and do not add value to the products. China is said to be one of the largest producers of sweeteners in the world. The popularity of high-intensity sweeteners like stevia, xylitol, and others is growing rapidly in the country due to their sustainability and increasing demand for sugar-enriched beverages and soft drink products. The market players are focusing more on the incorporation of natural sweeteners in their products. For instance, in July 2022, Chinese beverage giant Genki launched a sugar-free cola-flavored drink in the market. these drinks are made without adding any preservatives and with the use of natural sweeteners like sugar alcohols. Over the medium term, the demand for food sweeteners is expected to increase owing to the increasing consumption of processed food products and the increasing demand for natural sweeteners in the market.
