The United Kingdom food sweetener market size is expected to register a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing sales of products that use stevia in combination with sugar to provide improved taste and low calories.
Food sweeteners are natural & artificial substances that provide a sweet taste to food & beverages. Sweeteners may be used for food preservation, fermentation, baking, and food browning and caramelization. In fermentation, sweetener is used for brewing and wine making. Sweetener is also applicable to confer texture, tenderization, and leavening. Natural sweeteners are nutritive and flavored, thus preferable for both food as well as flavoring.
The demand for natural sweeteners is significantly higher than that of artificial sweeteners. Inclination toward low-calorie sweetener and low-calorie beverages, such as diet coke and low-calorie drinks, and low-calorie foods, such as yogurt, ice cream, and grain-based desserts, has increased the market share. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is substitute for sweeteners and are used broadly in various applications.
