The plant-based movement has further accelerated the demand for natural sweeteners as consumers prioritize sustainability and transparency in food and beverage ingredients. Stevia, requiring less water and land than sugarcane, aligns with eco-conscious values, leading to its widespread adoption of plant-based drinks. Companies producing dairy-free alternatives like Ripple Foods and Silk Almond Milk use stevia to provide natural sweetness without added sugars, appealing to health-conscious buyers. As more brands shift toward natural formulations, stevia is solidifying its place as a leading plant-based sweetener, ensuring continued expansion across multiple beverage categories.
The adoption of stevia in the alcoholic beverage industry is growing as consumers seek low-calorie and sugar-free alternatives to traditional high-sugar drinks. With the rise of health-conscious drinking trends, many people are opting for low-carb and keto-friendly alcoholic options, making stevia a preferred natural sweetener in hard seltzers, cocktails, and flavored spirits. Popular brands like White Claw, Truly, and Bon & Viv use stevia to maintain a sweet taste without added sugars, catering to consumers who want refreshing, guilt-free beverages.
In South Africa, the retail industry is critical in promoting stevia-based beverages.

With a growing middle-class population concerned about obesity and lifestyle diseases, beverage manufacturers are responding with affordable, plant-based alternatives to traditional sugary drinks. South Africa’s dynamic herbal beverages market has also begun incorporating stevia into rooibos and botanical-based drinks, appealing to local and global health-conscious consumers.
