What Are the Critical Driver Fuelling the Xylitol Market's Growth?
The amplifying count of overweight individuals is speculated to boost the expansion of the xylitol market. The rise in obesity is attributed to passive lifestyles and subpar food choices, as well as hereditary factors and surroundings. Xylitol is beneficial to obese people by providing a low-calorie, low-glycemic sugar substitute that curbs sugar cravings, maintains oral hygiene, and potentially encourages useful gut bacteria, contributing to weight and metabolic regulation. For example, the 2022 statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a federal agency in the US, reveal that 22 states currently have an adult obesity prevalence of 35% or more, an escalation from 19 states in 2021. Accordingly, the escalating count of overweight individuals is powering the expansion of the xylitol market.
