High-intensity sweeteners are sugar substitutes that are used in lower concentration than other sweetening agents, such as sucrose, and comprise lesser calorie content. For instance, the compound aspartame, is about 160–220 times sweeter than sucrose and is considered a high-intensity sweetener. Moreover, these sweeteners are widely used in food to prevent dental caries and prevent the rise in blood sugar levels. Furthermore, these sweeteners are extensively used by diabetic patients to control their blood sugar levels and low-calorie value. Moreover, the use of these sweeteners is regulated by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a food additive, and are commercially used after receiving an approval from Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS), especially in Europe and North America.
The high-intensity sweeteners market is characterized by the presence of local and overseas raw material suppliers. Manufacturers can opt for different suppliers due to variation in products. The procurement of raw material depends on the special quoted prices and convenience of manufacturers. Buyers tend to switch to other suppliers due to presence of large number of suppliers, thus leading to lower bargaining power of suppliers. Sweeteners producers can manufacture food and beverage items themselves, which results in moderate threat of forward integration. Therefore, the bargaining power of suppliers is projected to remain low to moderate in the global high-intensity sweeteners market.
The market is also characterized by the presence of multiple buyers who are involved in bulk purchases, and represent a large sale portion of artificial sweeteners manufacturers, which indicates high bargaining power of buyers. Moreover, they are less expected to integrate backward, as sweeteners are differentiated products, thus indicating lower bargaining power of buyers. In addition, buyers govern low bargaining power due to lack of effective substitutes in the market. However, they are price sensitive toward procuring sweeteners, which leads to high bargaining power of buyers. Thus, the bargaining power of buyers ranges from low to moderate in the global market.
The high-intensity sweeteners market witness’s high level of competition, which results in industry consolidation. Various sweetener manufacturers have launched new products for specific end-use industries, such as Aspartame, Acesulfame K2, Saccharin, and Sucralose, which are widely used in the food and beverage industry. Frequent product launches demonstrate the extent to which firms limit their competitors’ profit potential. In addition, competitors are strategically diverse in nature, which further leads to intense competition. All these factors demonstrate that there is moderate competition in the global market.

Analyst Review
High intensity sweeteners (HIS) comprise structurally diverse set of compounds that are sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), and can be used as a substitute to sugar. A sugar substitute is a food additive compound that imparts a sweet taste to food but releases lesser food energy. Unlike sugar, HIS are noncaloric and noncariogenic compounds; and hence its consumption does not lead to dental caries. These sweeteners, such as acesulfame K, aspartame, cyclamate, saccharin, and sucralose, are artificial sweeteners produced by chemical synthesis; while stevia extract is natural products.
High intensity sweeteners have gained popularity in the recent years in dairy products, snack foods, and others, owing to their growing demand for low-sugar beverages, dairy products, and snack foods. The initiatives taken by top food & beverage industry players to introduce natural sweeteners in soft drinks and other food items in the U.S. proliferated the market growth.
