Stevia's market expansion is being driven by rising demand for low-calorie food items. This is due to the rising incidence of obesity and other health problems. Stevia's market development is predicted to be aided by rising demand for natural plant-based sweeteners. Stevia's increasing use in beverages and packaged foods is likely to drive market development. Product demand is being hampered by stringent norms and regulations governing the use of stevia as a culinary additive. This is owing to the drug's adverse effects. This is due to the negative effects of stevia use, which include digestive issues and allergic responses. This aspect is anticipated to stifle market expansion. Lack of understanding and a harsh aftertaste limit the product's appeal in candy, snacking, and dairy products, resulting in poor usage throughout emerging markets. This aspect is impeding the expansion of the stevia market.
According to Coherent Market Insights, the global Stevia Market is estimated to surpass US$ 998.6 million by the end of 2027 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period (2020 to 2027).
