Global Sugar Substitute Market: An Analysis ----------------------------------------- 2013
Executive Summary The sugar substitute market mainly consists of high fructose syrup (HFCS), high intensity sweetener (HIS) and low intensity sweetener (LIS). The HIS segment (non-calorific) is the fastest growing segment among all other sugar substitutes. As rising level of obesity and diabetes continue to dominate, emphasis on reducing caloric intake as well as consuming healthier food and beverages is increasing which in turn driving the sales of sugar substitutes. North America dominates the sugar substitute market driven by downstream industries like food, beverages and pharmaceuticals. Within the High Intensity Sweetener market, sucralose holds the largest consuming share followed by aspartame, saccharine, cyclamate, natural HIS (stevia), Ace-K and Neotame. Stevia (natural HIS) is gaining quick acceptance all across the globe because of the various health benefits associated with it. Global HFCS production and consumption both increased in 2012 mainly due to increased demand from beverage, foodsprocessing, diary and confectionery industries. Countries like Thailand, Turkey, Philippines, Colombia and Vietnam where HFCS penetration is still low offer huge opportunity to expand. Among the LIS, sorbitol is the most used polyols among all others. Major manufacturers of sugar substitutes include Tate and Lyle, PureCircle Ltd, DuPont, S&W Seed Company etc. The report titled Global Sugar Substitute Market: An Analysis is a comprehensive study on the global sugar substitute market with a special focus on regional markets like North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.

Some of the largest known sweetener manufacturers like Cargill Inc, Stevia First Corp operate in the US. The F&B industry is increasingly replacing sugar or corn syrup with zero-calorie sweeteners in a wide range of products. The penetration of HIS/isoglucose in European countries is still very low that depicts a significant opportunity. The European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) approved stevia as a food and beverage ingredient early in 2011; and it was approved for general consumption near the end of 2011. The demand for sugar substitutes in emerging nations like China, India has been driving the Asia-Pacific market.

Global Production and Consumption of HFCS by Volume (2006-2012) After declining to million tonnes in 2008, global HFCS production increased to million tonnes in 2012, an increase of.% y-o-y. Total consumption increased from.. million tonnes in 2011 to..million tonnes in 2012. Due to surging sugar prices, most of the F&B manufacturers shifted their usage from refined sugar to HFCS. HFCS is mainly driven by demand from beverage, foodsprocessing, diary and confectionery industries. HFCS penetration is highest in the US with Japan, Canada, Mexico and Taiwan also showing considerable increase in the usage of HFCS. 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Production Consumption Due to high sugar prices in the US, most food and beverage companies have switched to HFCS which is considered as a good and cheap substitute.
