The Plant Based Sweeteners Market Size is valued at 2.88 Billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach 4.75 Billion by the year 2031 at an 6.68 % CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
A natural sweetener called a "plant-based sweetener" is typically made from the leaves or fruits of plants. There are many different natural sweeteners available on the market due to the incredible diversity of plants around the globe. Various organically derived sweeteners enable consumers and formulators to increase flavour while minimizing sugar consumption. One of the key reasons driving the expansion of the global plant-based sweetener market is the rising demand for low- or zero-calorie organically derived ingredients used in foods and beverages, as well as the concern for leading a healthy lifestyle among the global population. People are turning toward easily recognizable, naturally derived foods in their diets rather than foods with intricate names or concoctions made in a lab as better alternatives to sugar.
In addition, there is a rising demand for plant-based sweeteners due to continuous global food trends, product developments in the food and beverage industry, and an increase in the usage of natural goods made from plants. The certification of various sweeteners by regulatory authorities worldwide verifying that they are safe for human consumption, as well as the increased demand for low-calorie sweeteners, are other reasons why the market for plant-based sweeteners is anticipated to expand rapidly.
The Plant-Based Sweeteners market is segmented on type, form, distribution channel, application and end-use. Based on type, the market is segmented into Stevia, Monk Fruit Sugar, Sorbitol, Xylitol, Yacon, Molasses, Agave, Lucuma fruit Sugar and Others. Based on form, the Plant Based Sweeteners are segmented into Crystal, Liquid and Powder. Based on distribution channels, the market is segmented into E-Commerce Stores and Retail Stores. Based on application, the market is segmented into Beverages, Bakery, Confectionary, Ice-creams, Desserts, Fruit Processing and Others. Based on end-use, the market is segmented into Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical and Others.
The stevia category dominated the market over the forecast period. The stevia plant's leaves create powdered and liquid stevia, a natural sweetener that represents natural sweetening globally. In addition, stevia, one of the most popular alternative sweeteners available, is up to 300 times sweeter than regular sugar while containing neither carbohydrates nor calories nor artificial additives. Another great benefit of stevia is that it is sweeter than monk fruit and table sugar. Additionally, stevia is employed in small amounts in formulations and produces the same outcomes, which has a good effect on the market presence of stevia and propels the expansion of this industry's revenue.
The powder segment is anticipated to post a swift revenue growth rate during the projection period. Natural sweetener powder provides a high level of sweetness and is simple to use and store. It is often used in the beverage industry as a natural sweetener and offers benefits, including managing diabetes and a person's weight. It is also a herbal supplement and non-nutritive sweetener because it has extremely few or no calories, which helps with weight loss.
The North America Plant Based Sweeteners market is expected to register the highest market share in revenue in the near future due to developments in the technology of plant-based sweeteners. Due to the sweet tooth of Americans, obesity and other health issues are now more common. Artificial sweeteners might lower calories to address these issues, but studies have unambiguously demonstrated that they can cause weight gain, brain tumors, bladder cancer, and other health hazards. This is causing the market in this region to develop in terms of revenue while raising consumer knowledge of artificial sweeteners. In addition, Europe is projected to grow rapidly in the global Plant Based Sweeteners market because of the increase in popularity of sugar-free Ready-To-Drink (RTD) protein drinks, carbonated soft drinks, energy drinks, flavoured waters, water boosters, sports nutrition, recovery drinks, hard seltzers, coffee drinks, and nutritional supplements. For companies delivering cutting-edge solutions, this is generating significant income prospects. The market in this region is also experiencing revenue growth due to the growing demand for natural sweeteners with clean labels.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
Primary Research:
Primary research involves telephonic interviews, e-mail interactions, as well as face-to-face interviews for each market, category, segment, and subsegment across geographies
The contributors who typically take part in such a course include, but are not limited to:
Data Modeling and Analysis:
In the iterative process (mentioned above), data models received inputs from primary as well as secondary sources. But analysts working on these models were the key. They used their extensive knowledge and experience about industry and topic to make changes and fine-tuning these models as per the product/service under study.
The standard data models used while studying this market were the top-down and bottom-up approaches and the company shares analysis model. However, other methods were also used along with these – which were specific to the industry and product/service under study.
