For example, the World Heart Foundation reported in March 2023 that nearly 2.3 billion individuals, including children and adults, are currently affected by overweight or obesity globally, with projections indicating a rise to 2.7 billion by 2025. This upward trend in obesity is a key driver for the high-intensity artificial sweeteners market.
