The increasing number of diabetic patients is expected to propel the growth of the non-sugar sweetener market going forward. Diabetic patients are individuals diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels. The rising prevalence of diabetes is partly linked to high consumption of processed foods, which are often rich in added sugars, unhealthy fats, and refined carbohydrates, contributing to obesity, insulin resistance, and a higher risk of type 2 diabetes. Non-sugar sweeteners provide effective alternatives to traditional sugar by supporting calorie reduction, blood sugar regulation, and overall metabolic health, making them a critical component of diabetes management diets. For instance, in February 2025, according to the British Diabetic Association, a UK-based healthcare professional and research charity, 4.6 million people in the UK had been diagnosed with diabetes, up from 4.4 million the previous year, with an additional 1.3 million individuals estimated to be living with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes. Therefore, the increasing number of diabetic patients is driving the growth of the non-sugar sweetener market.

Major companies operating in the non-sugar sweeteners market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as natural sugar substitutes, to meet the growing demand for healthier, low-calorie sweetening alternatives. Natural sugar substitutes are derived from plant-based or naturally occurring sources and provide sweetness with fewer calories and minimal impact on blood glucose levels compared to conventional sugar. For instance, in June 2023, Wisdom Natural Brands, a US-based healthcare products manufacturer, launched two new product lines - Indulge Zero Calorie Sweeteners and 50% Reduced Calorie Sugars. The Indulge Zero Calorie Sweeteners offer a calorie-free sweetening solution made from natural ingredients, supporting weight management and blood sugar control without compromising taste. Meanwhile, the 50% Reduced Calorie Sugars line combines the familiar taste of sugar with half the calories, catering to consumers seeking moderation rather than complete sugar elimination.

In July 2024, Ajinomoto Health & Nutrition, a Japan-based provider of health and food ingredient solutions, partnered with Shiru Inc., a US-based biotechnology and food ingredient discovery company, to develop sweet proteins for use in beverages and specialty food products. Through this partnership, the companies aim to create next-generation non-sugar sweetener solutions with enhanced taste profiles and improved metabolic benefits, strengthening innovation and competitiveness within the non-sugar sweetener market.
