North America Starch Sweetener Market Analysis by Mordor Intelligence
The North America Starch Sweetener Market is expected to register a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period.
- The inclination toward sugar substitute, owing to the increasing consumer concerns over nutrition and health, alongside rising inclination for a healthy diet, is probably going to boost market expansion. HFCS has been widely adopted by the food manufacturers in the United States due to its advantages over granulated sucrose, like it is easy to supply, good for stability, and its ease of handling.
- However, the replacement of sugar with low-calorie sweeteners, such as aspartame and stevia can reduce the calorie intake, and thus, help in weight and blood sugar level management. This may create a huge gap in terms of demand for starch sugars, thus, hampering the market growth.
North America Starch Sweetener Market Trends and Insights
Rising Demand for Xylitol
- Xylitol is a starch sweetener, used as sucrose substitutes for weight management, dietary supplements, and confections. It has a sweetening power similar to that of sucrose and leaves no repulsive after taste, unlike other artificial sweeteners. When compared to sugar, xylitol contains 40% lesser calories, 75% fewer carbohydrates, and builds the bodily systems. Thus, Xylitol is largely driven by the demand from health and calorie-conscious consumer for sugar-free as well as low-calorie food products
- Also, xylitol acts as a useful alternative to sugar for people with diabetes as it does not raise blood glucose or insulin levels and has a reduced caloric value (2.4 kcal/g compared to 4.0 for sucrose), which is consistent with the objective of weight control, the segment is largely driven by the demand from an increasing number of diabetes people around the world.
- It is commonly used as an ingredient in sugar-free chewing gums, candies, mints, diabetes-friendly foods, and oral-care products. Moreover, it is non-fermentable, and its long-term use suppresses the most detrimental strains of oral bacteria. Industrial production of xylitol involves hydrolysis and hydrogenation of xylan (hemicellulose), extracted from hardwood. Other than food industries, Xylitol has also been extensively used in the manufacturing of oral hygiene products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and toiletries.
