COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The tremendous increase in sales of ready-to-eat foods in retail distribution channels was caused in part by consumers' panicked purchases of food supplies during the early phase of the lockdown. In recent years, however, the rising health concerns related to the sanitation and safety of processed foods have impacted the market for these items, as consumers have opted for raw ingredients to prepare their meals at home. This would offer up new growth opportunities for the leading industry players in the coming years. High customer demand for gluten-free, vegetarian, and meat-free low-sugar snack choices will drive the market for low-sugar fruit snacks throughout the projection period.Market Growth Factors
Rising prevalence of obesity
Obesity is one of the most significant threats to public health that the 21st century has seen, and it is a problem that is present in every country on the planet.

These conditions include cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, diabetes, and numerous prevalent malignancies. The prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing at an alarming rate among both children and adults. This beverage contains artificial sweeteners, which are only used in trace amounts because they are 600 times sweeter than regular sugar.The Increasing Prevalence of Diseases Caused by Lifestyle
As more and more individuals become aware of the benefits of adopting a healthy lifestyle, sugar-free energy drinks are seeing a meteoric rise in popularity. Carbonated soft drinks were a big contributor to the rising obesity crisis, and sugar-free energy drinks have emerged as a superior alternative to fill the void left by their consumption. Some of the most well-known brands of sugar-free energy drinks, such as Red Bull, Monster, and Rockstar, are included on the list of the most commonly consumed sugar-free energy drinks.Market Restraining Factors
Concerns regarding the use of artificial sweeteners in medical research
