Alternative Sweetener Market Segmentation Analysis - by Type
Alternative Sweetener Market based on types can be further segmented into High Fructose Syrup, High-Intensity Sweeteners, Low-intensity Sweeteners and Others. The High-Intensity Sweeteners segment held a dominant Alternative Sweetener Market share in the year 2021. Food additives known as high-intensity sweeteners (HIS) are sugar substitutes that resemble the taste of sugar. These sweeteners have a calorie value ranging from 0 to 4 Kcal/gm and are used as flavor enhancers in food and beverage products. To address the need of health-conscious consumers, HIS is utilized as a diet sugar. Furthermore, after it is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, it can be utilized as a food additive (FDA). It can also be used commercially after receiving approval from the Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) organization, which is particularly important in North America and Europe. For instance, Sweden would launch its new natural sweetener in October 2021, as part of its "high-intensity sweeteners" product portfolio. Small amounts of ultra-sweet taste protein were discovered in West African plants known as Oubli. Also, awareness & brand promotion by key manufacturers increase the Alternative Sweetener industry's strength in the forecast period.
However, the High Fructose Syrup segment is expected to grow at the quickest rate between 2022 and 2027, with a CAGR of 5.9%, owing to its distinct taste. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a liquid sweetener made from a modified type of corn syrup that is utilized in the food and beverage industry as an alternative to sucrose. Wet milling is a method of producing high fructose corn syrup from corn. HFCS is more stable than granulated sucrose and works well in acidic beverages. It is also easier to carry, handle and mix attributed to its liquid property. The US Food and Drug Administration, on the other hand, has designated high fructose corn syrup as "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS) (U.S. FDA). HFCS has been widely adopted by U.S. food manufacturers owing to its advantages over granulated sucralose. For instance, it is easy to supply and handle and has good stability. Such use of High Fructose Corn Syrup helps to boost the market of the Alternative Sweetener industry over the forecast period.

Alternative Sweetener Market Challenges
The Overall Market Growth Has Been Hampered by Product Combinations that Equivocally Place Alternative Sweeteners Against Natural Sugars.
To combat sugar compositions, multiple components are required. As a result, holistic techniques to reduce sugar content while still harmonizing taste must be pursued. Formulators, for example, must combine stevia leaf extracts with erythritol to create sugar-free goods that fulfill consumer expectations. Sugar and artificial sweetener prices are 269.04 % more in 2022 than they were in 1977, according to the US Bureau of Labour Statistics (a $1.83 difference in value). Tate & Lyle will unveil new SWEETENER VANTAGE sweetener solutions design tools in July 2020 to assist formulators in creating sugar-free food and beverages using low-calorie sweeteners. Furthermore, a study has yielded a number of results that are further inhibiting market expansion. When taste receptors are exposed to other sweeteners or natural sugars, they react in the same way and the need can sometimes outweigh the health benefits. When we eat high-sugar foods, the brain sends out signals; however, there is no actual sugar in alternative sweeteners and the body creates insulin to offset the lack of a potential glucose molecule. As a result, the body begins to build insulin resistance over time. Finally, alternative sweeteners have been heavily processed with substances that can have negative health consequences. For example, intestinal health can deteriorate, resulting in obesity. Alternative sugar's negative health effects may stifle Alternative Sweetener Market size expansion over the projection period.
