Europe Food Sweetener Market Segmentation
The sweetener market is segmented into bulk sweeteners and sugar substitutes. The growth in the sugar substitutes market 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 sugar substitutes do 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 (High Intensity Sweeteners) segment. Stevia is also seeing high demand in the natural sweeteners category.
In 2011, the European Regulation granted the authorization for the use of steviol glycoside in specified food products, which augmented the sweetener market. The growing consumer trends towards natural ingredients and clean label solution in Europe have driven the natural sweetener market. Increased alcohol production in Europe is the biggest factor for sugar and sweetener consumption.
