NEW YORK (Sept. 8, 2009) – Rebaudioside A (Reb A), a non-caloric sweetener derived from the stevia plant, could fill a sweet spot in the U.S. food and beverage market, according to a new Rabobank report. In the report, “Stevia and the U.S. Market,” the growing demand for products with greater perceived health benefits could help the sweetener grow in coming years. “Consumer concerns regarding obesity and the growing demand for all-natural products bode well for Reb A to quickly gain market share,” said Rabobank Food & Agribusiness Research and Advisory Executive Director Stephen Rannekleiv. ”However, while success seems imminent, and we expect annual U.S. sales of Reb A to reach approximately $700 million within 5 years, numerous hurdles must still be overcome.” Reb A’s ability to be used in products claiming all-natural is a key point with consumers. In 2008, all natural was the most prevalent claim for new products launched. In fact, according to ACNielsen, retail sales that year of all-natural products in the United States were valued at more than $22 billion, which represents a 10 percent increase from 2007 and a 37 percent increase since 2004. The potential market for Reb A in the United States appears to be quite considerable. In 2008, the global high intensity sweetener market was valued at approximately $1.3 billion, with the United States accounting for approximately 35 percent ($455 million). Each year, the United States consumes more than 5 million metric tonnes sugar equivalent of high intensity sweeteners. |
