The carbonated drinks industry showed a modest growth in the past. However, rise in prevalence of obesity and high blood sugar levels among the population resulted in increase in health consciousness among the consumers. Higher consumption of added sugar may lead to obesity that again results in various health diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers. According to a study by the Global Burden of Disease, around 4.72 billion people died prematurely due to obesity and around 6.53 million people died due to high blood sugar in 2017. These numbers are the key factors attracting the consumers to opt for stevia beverages by replacing regular soft drinks. Therefore, manufacturers are now focusing on reducing the use of sugar and are constantly focusing on developing healthier, sugar-free options for regular carbonated drinks. Hence, the growth of the stevia beverages is expected to propel in the upcoming years.
Surge in expenditure on health & wellness products is helping the stevia beverages market to grow. As consumers become more health-conscious and look for ways to improve their overall health & well-being, they are increasingly turning to products that are perceived as healthier & more natural. Stevia-based beverages are a natural alternative to traditional sugary drinks and are perceived as healthier due to their low calories and low sugar content. This increased spending on health & wellness products is helping to drive the market for stevia beverages, as more consumers are looking for healthier alternatives to traditional sugary drinks. Furthermore, increase in awareness about the health risks of consuming high sugar beverages, is driving the demand for stevia-based beverages. This is particularly important for people who have diabetes or are at risk of developing it, and for those who are overweight or obese. These factors are expected to play a significant role in the growth of the stevia beverages market during the forecast period.
The carbonated drinks industry exhibited growth in the past few decades, but the health risks associated with these drinks are major restraints for the market. Though sugar-free is a healthy option, there are certain risks associated with the carbonation of drinks. Consumption of carbonated drinks may significantly reduce calcium from bones, erode tooth enamel, stomach blenching, and heartburn. These health risks associated with the consumption of carbonated drinks are forcing consumers to opt for non-carbonated drinks such as fruit juices and still water. Hence, carbonation itself is a constraining factor in the growth of the stevia beverages market. There has been a decline in demand for carbonated drinks in mature markets such as North America and Europe since 2016 owing to the health risks.
In recent years, the global stevia beverages market has witnessed an uptick owing to increase in awareness of the health benefits of low-calorie consumable products. Moreover, introduction of several stevia-based beverages is positively supporting the overall market and has been well appreciated by consumers. Further, demand for natural ingredient-based products along with the presence of antioxidants is expected to supplement the market growth.
