Market Introduction
The South and Central America stevia market is a highly fragmented market with the presence of considerable regional and local players providing numerous solutions for companies investing in the market arena. Stevia is now predominantly used to control calorie, carbohydrate, and sugar intake. Liquid stevia is used as an alternative for cane sugar in sweetening coffee, tea, and smoothies. Stevia is gaining traction in the beverage industry and being preferred by leading beverage manufacturers for strategic approaches such as innovation, artificial sweetener replacement, sugar moderation for kids, and cost savings. In 2017, Coca-Cola introduced a soft drink that included stevia. The coke containing stevia has less sugar and provides a unique taste. Various features of stevia such as zero calories, tooth-friendly, pH stable, non-fermenting, highly soluble, heat stable, and shelf-stable have increased the demand for stevia in the beverage industry. In a few instances, stevia can be applied as a flavor enhancer depending upon the type of beverage. Stevia can also be used for reducing the sugar levels in alcoholic beverages such as beer and cocktails. Thus, an increased application of stevia in the beverage industry is expected to drive the stevia market across the region.
In South and Central America, Brazil reported a huge number of COVID-19 cases, which led to the discontinuation of several business operations, including stevia production activities. Downfall of other food and beverages producing sectors negatively impacted the demand for stevia during the early months of 2020. However, the pandemic has been a reason for major shifts in consumer preferences with an increased awareness about having a healthy lifestyle. Consumers are substituting conventional ingredients with healthier alternatives, which is, in turn, increasing the demand for natural sweeteners such as stevia. An increase in the diet preference for no added sugars and low carbohydrates among consumers during the pandemic has led to an increase in the demand for stevia. During the pandemic, there has been rapid surge in demand for low sugar and immunity-boosting products due to which people are seeking solutions to improve their overall health and wellbeing. The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted customers to become health conscious and turn to low-calorie or sugar-free food. Hence, increasing health consciousness and high demand for sugar-reducing solutions among the populace of South and Central America has had a positive impact on the stevia market.
