Major companies in the sucralose market are introducing zero sugar variants, such as low-calorie sweeteners, to encourage healthier lifestyles. Low-calorie sweeteners serve as sugar substitutes, delivering sweetness with little to no calories and often used as alternatives to sugar in various food and beverage products. For example, in November 2023, Tate & Lyle, a UK-based manufacturing company, launched flexible low-calorie sweeteners designed to offer the sweetness of sugar with significantly fewer calories, making them appealing to consumers pursuing healthier dietary choices. Sucralose, a prominent example of a flexible low-calorie sweetener, is derived from sugar and is approximately 600 times sweeter than sucrose, allowing for minimal use while still achieving the desired sweetness levels. These sweeteners are widely utilized in various products, including beverages, baked goods, and sauces, due to their stability under heat, making them suitable for cooking and baking. Their versatility extends to masking the taste of other ingredients and enhancing the overall flavor profile of low-calorie foods.

In July 2024, Tate & Lyle, a UK-based manufacturing company, acquired CP Kelco for an undisclosed amount. Tate & Lyle's goal is to expand its product portfolio and improve its capabilities to address the increasing consumer demand for clean-label and plant-based ingredients. CP Kelco is a US-based manufacturing company that specializes in producing hydrocolloids.
