This synthetic sweeteners market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global synthetic sweeteners market size will grow from $50.99 billion in 2022 to $55.41 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global synthetic sweeteners market size is expected to grow from $74.94 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 7.8%. Rising health awareness among global consumers has contributed to the growth of the synthetic sweetener market. The increased incidence of individuals suffering from heart diseases, diabetes, and obesity will eventually force people to lead healthier lifestyles. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 17.9 million people in the world die every year due to cardiovascular diseases. Also, the level of obesity is rising among individuals due to urbanization and busy lifestyles. According to a study by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, around 40% of adults in the USA have obesity and another 18% have severe obesity. The American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Diabetes Association (ADA) have given acceptance to the use of artificial sweeteners instead of sugar to fight obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes, factors causing heart diseases. The rising health awareness among global consumers increased the demand for synthetic sweeteners, thus driving the market for synthetic sweeteners during the period. The long-term use of synthetic sweeteners can cause diabetes and is expected to limit the growth of the synthetic sweetener market. It increases the risk of obesity and heart disease. Long-term use of artificial sweeteners changes taste buds over time, resulting in a persistent craving for excessively sweet foods. Due to this, nutrient deficiencies and weight gain are on the rise. It could lead to severe long-term illnesses such as headaches, dizziness, rash, bloating, nausea, diarrhea, and digestive problems. For instance, Brian Hoffmann, an assistant professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Marquette University, states in his new research study that long-term use of synthetic sweeteners could lead to metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity. Additionally, a study from the Canadian Medical Association Journal also explains that non-nutrient sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose, and stevia may increase the risk of obesity and its related effects over long-term use. Long-term use of synthetic sweeteners has a negative impact on the synthetic sweetener market that hinders its market growth. Sucralose-based sweeteners are increasingly being used as applications in the food industry. Sucralose is sweeter than sugar and is a low-calorie ingredient that does not cause dental cavities. Growing concerns about cardiovascular disorders due to increased consumption of sugar-based foods are encouraging the use of artificial sweeteners such as sucralose. Additionally, declining production and rising sugar prices worldwide are also encouraging the use of sucralose-based sweeteners. These sweeteners are the major substitutes for sugar in carbonated beverages, juices, dairy products, sugar-free chewing gums, confectionery, and bakery goods. For instance, in the U.S., PepsiCo is using sucralose-based sweeteners by replacing aspartame in diet Pepsi. In November 2020, Whole Earth Brands Inc., a US-based global food company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Swerve LLC and Swerve IP LLC (collectively known as Swerve) for $80 million.

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) refers to a thermoplastic produced from the monomer ethylene. Low-density polyethylene is resistant to moisture and chemicals, and it is non-toxic, non-contaminating in nature, flexible, and relatively transparent. It is used to make many thin and flexible products, such as plastic bags for dry-cleaning, newspapers, and others. The manufacturing process of low-density polyethylene is the autoclave method and the tubular method. Autoclaving is a sterilization method that uses high-pressure steam. The autoclaving process works in that the boiling point of water increases when it is under pressure. The applications are film and sheets, extrusion coatings, injection molding, and other applications. The end-use industries are agriculture, electrical and electronics, packaging, construction, and other end-use industries. The low-density polyethylene (LDPE) market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides low-density polyethylene (LDPE) market statistics, including low-density polyethylene (LDPE) industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) market share, detailed low-density polyethylene (LDPE) market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the low-density polyethylene (LDPE) industry.
