Global Artificial Sweeteners Market Relied on US$ 2 Billion by 2024

Artificial sweeteners are called "High Intensity Sweeteners" or "Intense Sweeteners" because they are many times sweeter than regular sugar. Artificial sweeteners are attractive alternatives to sugar because they are calorie-less which means they do not add any calories to the diet. Today, artificial sweeteners and other sugar substitutes are found in a variety of beverages and food including soft drinks, sauces, chewing gum, jellies, dressings and baked goods, candy, fruit juice, ice cream and yogurt and are marketed as "sugar-free" or "diet" products.

It does not mean that sugar is out of trend. The U.S. Department of Agriculture survey recently found that the average American consumes equivalent of 160 pounds of sugar a year, a 30 % increase over 1980.

This is because in large part sugar additives is used in so many things to prepared foods. Consumption in the United Kingdom is even higher at 165 pounds, while other European countries range from 110 to 145 pounds per year. The sales of high intensity sweeteners (HIS), sugar and sweeteners rise together, instead of one type displacing another.
