Global Stevia Market: Overview

The overall sweeteners market is now dominated by artificial sweeteners such as saccharin, sucralose, aspartame, and cyclamate. In contrast, Stevia is a natural sweetener and is a niche segment within the high-intensity sweeteners market. There has been an increasing trend over the past few years to concentrate on naturally derived sweeteners and food additives due to rising consumer awareness concerning the adverse consequences of artificial additives on human health.

In a search for substitute sweeteners, especially for obese and diabetic patients, attempts are made to obtain them from the plant world. Stevia rebaudiana (Stevia) is one of the best-known plants containing sweeteners. As steviol glycosides contained in Stevia are about 30 to 320 times sweeter than white sugar (saccharose), Stevia is widely used to sweeten various drinks and dishes. In comparison to traditional sugar, it is characterized by very low-calorie content. Moreover, steviol glycosides themselves exhibit several health-promoting properties. Apart from antibacterial and antifungal properties, they can lower blood pressure.

After years of further research, in December of 2008, the FDA added Stevia to the list of food additives usually recognized as safe. Stevia was then permitted to be added to flavored water, sports drinks as well as soft drinks and other foods and beverage products.
