Key Market Trends
Growing Diabetic Population in the Country
According to the estimates provided by the health ministry, the number of suspected diabetics in Japan reached 10 million in 2017. This increase was attributed to the growing rate of obesity and an aging population. Inadequate exercise and unhealthy eating habits resulted in the rising rates of obesity in the country. However, the elderly always have a higher propensity to contract diabetes. Another major dietary factor is the high sugar content in many processed foods. The Japanese people use ingredients with higher sugar content than they are probably aware of. These factors have boosted the sales of low-calorie sweeteners in the country.

Stevia Shows Robust Market Growth
Due to the increasing sugar prices and the rising health concerns among the consumers, the manufacturers are focusing on managing their production costs. In addition, the rising trend of natural and organic products has boosted the demand for stevia in the country. Furthermore, sugar substitutes are comparatively cheaper and have gained immense popularity in the country. For instance, the market shares of Coca-Cola and Pepsi declined drastically, due to the use of aspartame. Thus, the companies are extensively using stevia in their products. Japan re-opened its doors to stevia imports from Paraguay, in 2015, and committed itself to purchase all natural sweeteners, corresponding to an average of 600-700 metric ton per year.
