The stevia market is estimated at USD 490.1 million in 2017 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% to reach USD 771.5 million by 2022. The market is driven by factors such as rise in per capita consumption of zero calorie beverages and development of innovative stevia products that are cost-effective as well as beneficial for heath. The high growth potential in emerging markets and untapped regions provide new growth opportunities for market players. Due to its zero glycemic index and zero calories, stevia has gained popularity in many countries. FDA approval and attributing GRAS status to steviol glycosides with reduced Reb A acted as a positive influencing factor for the stevia market. In the last five years, leading food safety and regulatory agencies across the world have issued positive safety opinions on and/or allowed the safe use of purified stevia leaf extracts in food & beverages. One of the major restraining factors of the stevia market is the volatility of stevia leaf prices, which depend on seasonal fluctuations and crop yield. Many countries offer a wide range of stevia varieties, which also vary widely in stevia wholesale and retail prices leaving the prices for stevia in different regions unstable.
"The tabletop sweeteners segment, by application, is projected to be the fastest-growing in the stevia industry"
On the basis of application, the tabletop sweeteners segment is projected to be the fastest-growing, particularly in developing Asian economies with greater demand for sugar replacers.
