Covered in this report

With increased awareness of health issues associated with high sugar intake, consumers look to reduce sugar intake but don’t want to compromise on taste. There is preference for products using natural options like plant-derived sweeteners, fruit and fibres to lessen sugar content. Brands are currently innovating via a range of recipe and manufacturing adaptations to reduce or replace conventional sugar with natural and safe sugar alternatives.
