Opportunities: Increase in investments in R&D activities by manufacturers to develope newer and enhanced products
Manufacturers are increasingly investing in the R&D of new sugar substitutes to gain a larger share than their competitors. Many food & beverage manufacturers are replacing regular sugars with sugar substitutes for lowering the calorie content of the final products. The demand for sugar substitutes from developed economies has increased. The major reason behind the substantial growth of the sugar substitutes market is the changing consumer attitude toward the consumption of sugar substitutes. The awareness about the ill-effects of high-calorie regular sugar consumption among consumers is increasing. To attract such potential consumers, sugar substitutes are made available across pharmacies, supermarkets, grocery stores, and health food shops in developed economies such as the US, Canada, and Germany.

Challenges: Product labeling and trade issues
The international regulatory bodies for food safety and quality are making food safety regulations more stringent. Apart from food testing and certification, these international regulatory bodies are compelling manufacturers to follow food labeling rules and regulations. Governments of most nations are taking initiatives to implement the food labeling law in their country. For instance, Canada’s Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act and Regulations force manufacturers to follow labeling to fulfill purposes such as:
- Provide a uniform method of labeling and packaging consumer goods, overcoming the confusion of different requirements under other legislation
- Require full and factual label information from which consumers can make an informed choice in the marketplace
- Prevent misrepresentation and deception in packaging and labeling
- Require the use of metric units of measurement and bilingual labelling
The stringent regulations put by regulatory bodies about testing, certification, usage, production, and labeling pose a challenge for manufacturers.
