Indian Saccharin Market: Segments, Key Players, Growth, Opportinuties And Forecast 2018-2023

The latest report by IMARC Group, entitled “Indian Saccharin Market: Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, estimates that the Indian saccharin market reached a volume of 4,540 Tons in 2017. At present, India represents both the largest producer as well as consumer of sugar across the globe. Increasingly inactive lifestyle of the population, particularly in the urban regions of the country, has consequently given a rise to the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, hypertension and other lifestyle diseases. Owing to this, a large section of the society is favouring healthier sugar substitutes such as saccharin. Saccharin is a sweetening agent which is 200-700 times sweeter than sugar. As saccharin does not break down during the process of digestion and passes through the body unchanged without contributing to the calories, it is widely used amongst the Indian consumers.

On account of altering food patterns as well as escalating health consciousness, consumers are increasingly preferring artificial sweeteners, especially for controlling a spike in their sugar levels, which is augmenting the demand for saccharin in the region. Moreover, saccharin is used in the food and beverage sector for manufacturing baked goods, canned fruits, salad dressings, chewing gums, carbonated drinks and confectionery food items.
