Egypt Food Sweetener Market- Growth, Trends and Forecast (2015-2020)

Egypt Food Sweetener Market Dynamics
Sugar dictates more than 80% share in this market. The major constraint in the sugar market is the volatility in prices, leading to market fluctuations.
Egypt Food Sweetener Market Segmentation
The sweetener market is segmented into sugar, high-intensity sweeteners (HIS) and high-fructose corn syrup. The market for HIS is expected to reach nearly USD 2.3 billion in 2022 at a CAGR of 5.1%. This growth is due to increased awareness and usage of dietary foods. Another major driver is the growing population of overweight, obese, and diabetic patients which is resulting in growth in this category. Although presently, HIS does not constitute a major share of the market, this is the fastest growing segment due to the rising health concerns among people. Aspartame and sucralose are the most famous sweeteners in the HIS segment. Stevia is also seeing a major demand in the natural sweeteners category. Saccharin and cyclamate are the lowest-cost HIS available, and therefore enjoy wide use in developing regions of Africa. Along with Asia and South America, Africa accounted for the bulk of cyclamate consumption. As diet beverages and food become more popular for health-related reasons, cyclamate, as the least expensive HIS, has replaced sucrose or table sugar in these regions.
In the African regions, concerns about health and nutrition are relatively nascent and diet products have less market penetration, due to which food sweeteners are in high demand in this region.
