Better-For-You Reformulation Opportunities Leveraging Less-Explored Natural Sweeteners

Long-term consumption of refined sugars and artificial sweeteners has been perceived to lead to lifestyle and chronic diseases. Global regulatory bodies are also urging consumers and manufacturers to adopt natural sweeteners citing health risks associated with consumption of refined sugars. The global natural sweeteners market is expected to reach USD 39 billion by 2025. Emerging, less-explored natural sweeteners are gaining popularity due to their ability to address sensorial challenges associated with existing veteran natural sweeteners (e.g., stevia), clean taste, less processing, nutrient content, and perceived health benefits. Food and beverage categories (e.g., beverages, snacks, confectionery) are actively using under-explored natural sweeteners in their better-for-you portfolio to create sustainable, taste-enhancing food reformulations without impacting taste senosorials.

In this webinar, FutureBridge analyst, Gargi Karmakar will unveil what opportunities lie in the less-explored natural sweeteners domain for the food and nutrition industry highlighting the challenges of existing natural sweeteners they help in addressing. Gargi would highlight some emerging natural sources of sugars that aid in healthy reformulations citing leading food and beverage brands that are already utilizing them to create sugar-reduced better-for-you products with enhanced nutritional value. We would also look at the categories that are already playing around with these natural sweeteners. Join us to learn about the new and emerging sources in the natural sweeteners segment.
