세계의 신규 감미료 시장 예측(-2032년) : 제품 유형별, 공급원별, 형태별, 유통 채널별, 기능별, 용도별, 지역별 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Novel Sweeteners Market is accounted for $3.7 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $6.7 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period. Novel sweeteners are innovative sugar alternatives developed through advanced biotechnological or synthetic processes. Unlike traditional sweeteners, they often offer enhanced sweetness intensity, minimal caloric impact, and improved metabolic profiles. These compounds such as steviol glycosides, monk fruit extracts, or allulose are increasingly used in food and beverage formulations to meet consumer demand for healthier, low-sugar options. Regulatory approval and safety assessments vary by region, but novel sweeteners are gaining traction for their functional versatility and potential health benefits in modern nutrition.

According Public Health Nutrition, the global volume of non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) sold in packaged foods and beverages increased by over 36% between 2007 and 2022, with steviol glycosides and sucralose leading the growth across multiple regions.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising demand for low-calorie and diabetic-friendly products

As diabetes and obesity rates climb, consumers are actively seeking alternatives that support glycemic control and weight management. Novel sweeteners such as stevia, monk fruit, and allulose are gaining traction due to their natural origins and minimal impact on blood sugar levels. Food and beverage manufacturers are reformulating products to cater to health-conscious consumers, integrating these sweeteners into snacks, beverages, and bakery items. Additionally, regulatory approvals and clean-label trends are accelerating adoption across mainstream and specialty markets.

Restraint:

Limited consumer awareness in emerging markets

Consumers in these markets often rely on conventional sugar or artificial sweeteners due to familiarity and affordability. Educational gaps regarding the benefits and safety of plant-based or fermented sweeteners hinder market penetration. Moreover, limited availability in retail channels and lack of promotional campaigns restrict visibility. Manufacturers face challenges in building trust and communicating the functional advantages of novel sweeteners, especially in rural and semi-urban areas where dietary habits are deeply rooted.

Opportunity:

Growth in e-commerce and health-focused retail channels

Digital marketplaces allow consumers to explore niche products, compare ingredients, and access detailed nutritional information. Brands are leveraging e-commerce to launch targeted marketing campaigns, offer subscription models, and educate buyers through interactive content. This shift is particularly beneficial for small and mid-sized manufacturers seeking direct-to-consumer engagement without relying on traditional retail infrastructure.

Threat:

Competition from traditional and artificial sweeteners

Products like sucralose, aspartame, and saccharin continue to dominate due to their low cost, established supply chains, and widespread consumer recognition. Additionally, sugar remains a staple in many cultures, making behavioral shifts challenging. Some consumers perceive novel sweeteners as less palatable or unfamiliar, which can slow adoption. Price sensitivity and limited scalability further constrain market growth, especially in regions where cost-effective sweetening solutions are prioritized over health benefits.

Covid-19 Impact

The pandemic reshaped consumer priorities amplifying interest in immunity-boosting and health-conscious products including novel sweeteners. Lockdowns and supply chain disruptions initially affected production and distribution, but demand rebounded as consumers sought alternatives to sugar for home cooking and packaged foods. Increased focus on metabolic health and preventive nutrition drove purchases of diabetic-friendly sweeteners. Moreover, the rise of digital health awareness and remote wellness consultations encouraged dietary changes, supporting market expansion.

The monk fruit extract segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The monk fruit extract segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to its zero-calorie profile and natural origin. Its high-intensity sweetness, derived from mogrosides, makes it suitable for a wide range of applications including beverages, dairy, and confectionery. The extract's antioxidant properties and favorable regulatory status in key markets such as the U.S. and China further enhance its appeal. Manufacturers are investing in scalable cultivation and extraction technologies to meet rising demand.

The microbial fermentation segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The microbial fermentation segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, driven by innovations in biotechnology and precision fermentation. This method enables the production of rare sugars like allulose and tagatose with minimal environmental impact and high purity. Fermentation-based sweeteners offer consistent taste profiles and are increasingly used in functional foods and beverages. Startups and established players alike are exploring fermentation to overcome supply limitations associated with plant-derived sweeteners.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest market share during the forecast period owing to strong agricultural capabilities, rising health awareness, and favorable government initiatives. Countries like China, Japan, and South Korea are investing in natural ingredient innovation and promoting sugar reduction policies. Urbanization and changing dietary preferences are driving demand for low-calorie products, especially among younger demographics.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, fueled by advanced food processing technologies and a proactive regulatory environment. The region's consumers are increasingly adopting clean-label and keto-friendly products, creating fertile ground for novel sweeteners. Major food brands are reformulating offerings to reduce added sugars, while startups are introducing innovative formats such as sweetener blends and functional syrups. The U.S. FDA's recognition of several novel sweeteners as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) is accelerating market entry.
