Stevia is a low-calorie sweetener that has antioxidant and anti-diabetic properties. Unlike artificial sweeteners and sugar, stevia can suppress plasma glucose levels and significantly increase glucose tolerance. The increasing demand for low-calorie food products is one of the major factors responsible for the growth of the stevia market.
Stevia, being a natural sweetener, is applicable in different applications to replace sugar. It is increasingly preferred by manufacturers producing food & beverage products, functional foods, dietary supplements, pharmaceutical products, pet food, and personal care products. Growing prevalence of diabetes & obesity, surging demand for natural sweeteners, rising demand for stevia application in the beverage industry, and the increasing number of new stevia-based product launches are some of the major factors driving the growth of the market. However, fluctuating stevia leaf prices is expected to restrain the growth of this market to some extent.
The Impact of COVID-19 on the Stevia Market
The COVID-19 disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-nCoV-2 has created a severe public health emergency globally, with its quick spread in more than 215 countries. To combat & control the spread of this disease, many countries worldwide declared emergencies and announced complete nationwide, statewide, or citywide lockdown, putting off all the travel, transport, manufacturing, educational institutions, and non-essential trade. This has had a significant impact on many industries globally, hitting hard in terms of reduced manufacturing and distributions across the globe. Stevia is one of such industry where manufacturers are facing disruptions in raw material supply due to the pandemic. Also, imports and exports in many countries have either been restricted or delayed since the outbreak, creating hurdles for stevia suppliers.

The manufacturers of consumer food & beverage products face challenges, such as significantly reduced consumption and disrupted supply chains. The food & beverage sector has witnessed a minor decline due to the lockdowns imposed across various countries. This scenario has also negatively impacted the confectionery industry since people are purchasing only essential products. In addition, government bodies passed various rules and regulations on the purchase of essential goods. Most consumers are buying only essential products, which has significantly lowered the consumption of confectionery items, cutting down the carbohydrates and calories.
However, the pandemic has led to the adoption of some best-practice models for the food industry as the pandemic has vitalized the importance of hygienic and nutritious foods comprising reduced sugar, calories, and fats. This industry has faced unprecedented demand from the consumer, particularly for low-calorie food products. For instance, in 2020, in Europe, two-third of people preferred lower sugar intake. (Source: New Nutrition Business). Therefore, many companies in the food industry have already started changing their strategies by replacing sugar with natural sweeteners.
The stevia market has witnessed a rapid uptick with the onset of the coronavirus crisis, wherein increasing surge in demand for less sugary and immunity-boosting products, as people are seeking solutions to boost overall health and wellbeing. The COVID-19 pandemic has also prompted most health-conscious customers to turn to low-calorie or sugar-free food. Hence, increasing health consciousness and high demand for sugar-reducing solutions and organic foods among the global population have forced manufacturers and product formulators to opt for stevia.
Further, dietary supplement sales increased during the pandemic as they help prepare the immune system against COVID-19, according to the article published by Nutrition Outlook. During the last week of March 2020, the sales growth for overall dietary supplements skyrocketed to more than 35% in the U.S.
Thus, growing health and wellness concerns, strong demand for dietary supplements, and increasing demand for sugar-free products are expected to propel the growth of the stevia market.
