The Artificial Sweetener market is a subset of the larger Sugar and Sweeteners market. Artificial sweeteners are synthetic or semi-synthetic compounds that are used to sweeten food and beverages. They are often used as a substitute for sugar, as they are much sweeter than sugar and contain fewer calories. Artificial sweeteners are used in a variety of products, including soft drinks, baked goods, and confectionery. They are also used in products such as diet foods, sugar-free gum, and sugar-free candy. Artificial sweeteners are generally considered to be safe for consumption, although there is some debate about their long-term health effects. They are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States. Some companies in the Artificial Sweetener market include Cargill, Tate & Lyle, Ajinomoto, and Merisant.
