Global Polyol Sweeteners Market is expanding as Major Industry Leader Cargill, Inc. Introduces a New Sweeteners to Reduce Sugar and Calorie Content in Beverages
Polyol is a type of sugar that has a
longer shelf life than regular sugar and its popularity has been on the rise in
recent times. Polyol is known to be more stable for use as a stabilizing agent.
The popularity of this sweetener has been attributed to its anti-microbial and
antioxidant properties. It also helps in lowering the pH level in the stomach
thereby reducing acid reflux. It does not cause any harm to the digestive
system and is easily absorbed by the body. Polyol is produced naturally in the
environment as it occurs naturally in nuts, seeds, grains, and seaweeds. It was
until recently believed that polls had no significant effect on health but
recent researches have proved that they can help in weight loss.
Rising disposable and net national
income per capita and changing lifestyles are expected to drive growth of the
global polyol sweeteners market during the forecast period. According to the
World Bank, global adjusted net national income per capita reached US$ 9,290 in
2018, increasing from US$ 8,507 in 2011. According to the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), housing disposable income in the
U.S. reached US$ 53,123 in 2018. Besides, the lifestyles of consumers is
changing rapidly with consumers across the globe eating healthier food
products. Thus, these factors are expected to drive growth of the global polyol
sweeteners market growth over the forecast period. Furthermore,
increasing consumer demand for low-calorie and healthier food & beverage
products is expected to boost the global polyol sweeteners market growth over
the forecast period. Polyol sweeteners have lower caloric value and are based
on corn and sugar derivatives.
However, high cost of production of
food & beverage products with polyol sweeteners as compared to sugar is
expected to hinder the global polyol sweeteners market growth over the forecast
period. Besides, continuous research and development activities to develop
safer sugar substitutes can present lucrative growth opportunities in the
global polyol sweeteners market in the near future. Among regions, Europe is
expected to witness significant growth in the global polyol sweeteners market
during the forecast period. This is owing to increasing demand for natural
ingredients and rapid growth of the personal care industry in developed
countries such as Italy, France, and Germany.
