The global sweetener market has undergone significant changes over the past decade. Early on, the market was almost entirely dominated by synthetic sweeteners such as aspartame, acesulfame potassium, and sucralose. However, in recent years, with the surge in “clean label” trends—”plant-based”—and “sugar-reduced health”—natural sweeteners are rapidly gaining popularity.
Monk fruit extract, steviol glycosides (high-purity RA series), allulose, erythritol, and tagatose have become core directions for new products from international brands. The following catalog basically covers the mainstream sweeteners in the global market.
Allulose is experiencing rapid growth in the Americas (USA). It has a taste close to sucrose, is extremely low in calories, and is FDA-friendly, making it widely used by major beverage companies. Monk fruit extract is a core ingredient in the European (Eurasia) blood clean label. Tagatose is characterized by its low GI, sugar-like properties, and heat resistance.
