Synthetic sweeteners are chemically-processed substances that are used in place of sweeteners with sugar (sucrose) or sugar alcohols. Synthetic sweeteners are used as applications in weight loss assistance, dental care, and diets for patients with diabetes mellitus and reactive glycemia. The main product types of synthetic sweeteners are aspartame, acesulfame k, saccharin, sucralose, neotame, and other types. Aspartame is a white, crystalline, odorless, slightly water-soluble noncarbohydrate powder, C14H18N2O5, synthesized from amino acids, that is 150–200 times as sweet as sugar and is used as a low-calorie sugar substitute in soft drinks, table sweeteners, and other food products. The applications involved are bakery, dairy, confectionery, beverages, soups, sauces, dressings, and other applications. The distribution channels are supermarkets and hypermarkets, departmental stores, convenience stores, and other distribution channels. The synthetic sweeteners market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides synthetic sweetener market statistics, including synthetic sweetener industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a synthetic sweetener market share, detailed synthetic sweetener market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the synthetic sweetener 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. As a result, Whole Earth Brands added another portfolio to its business with shelf stable sweetener brand in its North America retail.

Therefore, companies in this market are expected to benefit from rising demand for bakery and confectionery products due to the rising population during the forecast period. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the bakery and confectionary market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Food and beverage manufacturers depend on the supply of raw materials from domestic and international suppliers. As many governments restricted the movement of goods across countries and locally, manufacturers had to halt production due to a lack of raw materials. Also, restrictions on the trade of non-essential goods and fear of contamination through manufacturing facilities contributed to the decline. The outbreak had a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the bakery and confectionary market will recover from the shock over the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy.
