Sugar substitutes are food additives that are used in place of table sugar (sucrose) to sweeten and enhance the flavor of edibles. As their intake does not immediately increase blood sugar, these substitutes are extensively used in the preparation of sugar-free foods and beverages like baked goods, candies, soft drinks, canned foods, dairy products, powdered drink mixes, puddings and jellies. Some of the popular sugar substitutes available in the market include D-tagatose, sorbitol, xylitol, stevia, maltitol, acesulfame and neotame.

Global Sugar Substitutes Market Drivers:
Sugar substitutes are constantly replacing sugar in the food and beverage industry owing to the rising awareness of the negative health effects of sugar along with the increasing cases of obesity around the globe. For instance, food manufacturers are introducing low-calorie variants of food products to expand their consumer base.
Several sugar substitutes are safe for diabetic patients as they allow them to enjoy sweet foods without affecting their insulin levels. The rising prevalence of diabetes, especially in the Middle Eastern countries, has further increased the consumption of sugar-free food items, thereby bolstering the growth of the market.
The consumption of sugar results in tooth decay as the bacteria present in dental plaque metabolize sugar and release acid that can damage the teeth enamel. On the contrary, sugar substitutes like stevia provide active dental benefits and hinder the formation of plaque.
