Low-calorie Food Market Analysis, Segments, Growth and Value Chain 2014-2019

U.S-based market research and analysis firm Transparency Market Research announces the publication of a new research report. The report states projects the global low calorie food market to expand to a total market value of US$10,414.7 million by 2019. The market for low calorie foods was worth more than US$7,400 million in 2013 and will display a 5.9% CAGR between the end of 2013 and the end of 2019 if these figures hold true. The report, compiled by expert market analytics, and presenting analysis of primary and secondary information with the help of reliable, precise analytical tools such as Porter’s five forces analysis, market attractiveness analysis, and SWOT analysis, is titled ‘Low-calorie Food Market - Global Forecast, Share, Size, Growth and Industry Analysis, 2014 – 2019’.


The increasing prevalence of lifestyle conditions such as obesity and often-consequent diabetes are leading to the increased demand for low calorie food. Growing health awareness among the populace has increased visibility of the low calorie food market, which has emerged as a viable solution to obesity.Obesity is particularly rampant in developed countries such as the U.S., the U.K., and Australia, all three of which have an obesity prevalence of more than 20% in their total population. This spells good news for the global low calorie food market, as stated in the report.“The relatively higher prices of low calorie foods had made it harder for the market to expand in APAC and RoW regions so far, so the market had been reliant on the developed world for most of its revenue. However, this could change in the next few years, with APAC and RoW countries gaining in purchasing power,” a senior TMR analyst said.

The report zeroes in on the potential development of the Asia Pacific and Rest of the World markets for low calorie food in the coming years and presents it as a promising opportunity for low calorie food manufacturers around the world. The low calorie food markets in China, India, and Brazil are examined in detail, since these countries have a high diabetic population.The report segments the global low calorie food market by type of sweetener into stevia, saccharin, sucralose, aspartame, and cyclamate. Of these, aspartame emerged as the market leader in 2013 owing to its easy substitutability with sugar in terms of taste and product preparation. However, it is unsafe for some demographics, including children. As a result, stevia and sucralose have enjoyed a surge in demand of late, with the market for stevia in particular expected to exhibit strong growth in the near future. Stevia has the advantage of having an extremely low glycemic index of these, as it releases zero to little glucose into the bloodstream upon digestion.


The report puts major companies operating in the global low calorie food market under the microscope by examining their product segmentation, financial performance over recent years, and recent developments in the industry. Companies profiled in the report include Nestle SA, PepsiCo, Inc., The Coca-Cola Company, Abbott Laboratories, and Group Danone.

Low-calorie Food Market Globally Expected to Drive Growth through 2019

Obesity is one of the biggest health issues faced by the world today. The U.K. holds the largest population of obese citizens within Europe, with nearly 23.8% of the population marked as obese. The U.S. holds the largest percentage of the obese demographic in the world, at 36.5%. 28.3% of Australians are classified as obese, which is the highest percentage within the Asia Pacific region. The number of obese is also increasing steadily in other nations, creating a higher demand for healthier foods. Diabetics comprise another demographic that is fast opting for health foods. The WHO had earlier reported that almost 347 mn people around the world were diagnosed with diabetes in 2013, and this number is going to increase significantly in the coming years.

According to the report, the global low-calorie food market is being driven by the increasing prevalence of diabetes and obesity across developed nations. Changing lifestyles that are increasingly sedentary and stressful have led consumers to opt for healthier foods that are certified to be low in calories. A larger percentage of the consumers is now aware of the health risks associated with consuming high-calorie foods and sugary drinks and are therefore showing a high demand for products that promote physical health through added nutritional benefits and the use of low-calorie ingredients and preparations.

The global low-calorie food market is expanding at a CAGR of 5.90% within a forecast period of 2014 to 2019. The market stood at US$7.40 bn in 2013. It is expected to reach US$10.415 bn by the end of 2019, according to a research report released by Transparency Market Research. The report, titled “Low-calorie Food Market - Global Forecast, Share, Size, Growth and Industry Analysis, 2014 - 2019,” can be used to analyze the various segments of this market in order to create a relevant business strategy or investment profile.

A major challenge faced by the global low-calorie food market is the high cost associated with the production of low-calorie foods. Since most health foods and low-calorie foods require special ingredients as well as preparation methods, their cost is relatively higher than other convenience foods. Another factor to consider is that the producers specific to health foods are relatively newer to the markets than convenience foods producers. As such, their production lines and market distribution chains are not as strong. Therefore, more top players in the global low-calorie food market are confined to developed economies, as the high-costing foods can mostly be afforded by the consumers from these regions.

The report’s authors expect that in time, competitive pricing and increasing disposable income among consumers in developing economies will allow a higher market penetration in these regions.

The report segments the global low-calorie food market based on applications, within which the market is divided into healthcare, food, beverages, tabletop, and others.

In terms of product segments, the global low-calorie food market has been led by aspartame to date. The future of the market will see strong growth rates for sucralose and stevia. Stevia is expected to show a rapid growth rate, owing to it being a 100% natural sweetener. Sucralose is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the market for the given forecast period.

The U.S. leads the global low-calorie food market in terms of demand as well as consumption.

The key players in the global low-calorie food market are Cargill, Incorporated, McNeil Nutritionals, LLC, Ajinomoto Co., Inc., Nestle S.A., Bernard Food Industries, Inc., Groupe Danone, The Coca-Cola Company, and PepsiCo Inc.

Demand for Low-calorie Food on the Rise Due to Increasing Incidence of Obesity

In the recent times, obesity has had an adverse impact on the health of individuals, communities, and countries worldwide. This is because obesity is closely associated with several health conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, and cancer. According to the World Health Organization, in 2010, the number of overweight children below the age of five years was 42 million worldwide. This requires a combination of medical intervention and consumption of low-calorie diet for treating the condition.


Q. What are the major factors driving the adoption of low-calorie food?

A. Across the world, the increasing obesity rate and increasing incidence of diabetes have raised alarms among both consumers and health authorities alike. To address this, the consumption of healthy food and the adoption of a healthy lifestyle are the measures that are being encouraged for the same. This has resulted in the increased demand for low-calorie food, which has addressed obesity considerably.

The increasing obesity rate among children, which is a major concern for parents, is also driving the demand for health-benefitting foods. To address this, the adoption of a healthy lifestyle and consumption of low-calorie food is on the rise. For instance, the U.S. has the highest obesity rate with almost 36.5% obese population; the U.K. accounts for the highest 24.8% obese population in Europe, whereas Australia accounts for the highest 28.3% obese population in Asia Pacific. The consumption of low-calorie food in these regions is addressing the obesity menace to some extent.

The rise in the average age of the population globally is also driving the demand low-calorie food. These individuals are adopting a healthy lifestyle, which includes consumption of low-calorie food, to prevent diseases in the long-run and for increased life expectancy.

Q. What are the factors holding back the growth of the low-calorie food market?

A. Despite the health benefits of low-calorie food and their role in treating several diseases, the demand for low-calorie food is hampered due to several reasons. First and foremost, the taste and discount factors are limiting the consumption of low-calorie food. Secondly, the consumption of artificial sweeteners has health implications, which is challenging the growth of the low-calorie food market.

The relatively high prices of low-calorie foods have limited their affordability in emerging economies; the growth of this market is largely reliant on developed countries that are nearly exhausted for the sales of low-calorie food.

Q. Is there a relationship between consuming low-calorie sweeteners and weight loss?

A. Yes. In a recent industry development, researchers at the University of Washington have found a strong link between the use of low-calorie sweetener and weight loss.

To validate this, researchers scrutinized data pertaining to the weight loss intent of individuals. They found that the utilization of low-calorie sweeteners was common among individuals who experienced weight loss fluctuations and were seeking to return to a lower weight. Also, individuals who used low-calorie sweeteners regularly have better diets than nonusers that do not allow weight gain easily.


On the other hand, individuals who have lost weight have a tendency to gain weight easily. This leads them to resume the strategies that were adopted earlier for weight loss, such as using low-calorie sweeteners. This suggests that the use of low-calorie sweetener is a remedy for weight loss.

Global Low Calorie Food Market to Expand at 5.9% CAGR owing to High Incidence of Lifestyle Diseases

Greater healthcare awareness and high incidence of lifestyle diseases is contributing to the growth of the global low calorie food market. People these days make a conscious effort to avoid consuming fattening and calorie-dense food. Conditions such as diabetes and obesity are stimulating the demand for low calorie foods. Another prominent factor driving the global low calorie food market is the growing geriatric population.

The value of the global low calorie food market in 2013 had exceeded US$7,400 million. Growing at a CAGR of 5.9% between 2013 and 2019, this market is anticipated to reach a value of US$10,414.7 million by the end of the forecast period. As per the World Health Organization, the global population of overweight children in 2010 was registered at 42 million. Obesity amongst children is becoming a major cause of concern all over the world today.

Developed Countries: Largest Contributors to the Global Low Calorie Food Market

The problem of obesity is by far the highest in the U.S., where more than 35% of the total population is obese. With an obese population of 28.3% of the total, Australia is the leader in Asia Pacific. The demand for low calorie food in emerging markets such as Brazil, China, and India is on the rise owing to high incidence of diabetes in these regions.

The U.S. is the largest market for low calorie food, followed by Europe and emerging markets of Asia Pacific, which are likely to exhibit rapid growth over the next couple of years. The global low calorie food market derives much of its revenue earnings from the developed world, since the expansion of this market in the Rest of the World and Asia Pacific regions is hampered by the steep prices of low calorie foods. As a result, the performance of the global low calorie food market relies immensely on the demand for low calorie food from developed economies.


Some of the prominent companies in the global low calorie food market are Cargill Incorporated, Groupe Danone, McNeil Nutritionals LLC, Nestle SA, Bernard Food Industries Inc., Ajinomoto Co Inc., and the Coca-Cola Company.

Stevia: Dominant Product in the Global Low Calorie Food Market

The global low calorie food market is segmented on the basis of product, application, and geography. On the basis of product, this market is categorized into saccharin, aspartame, cyclamate, stevia, and sucralose. Aspartame is the most extensively consumed artificial sweetener in the overall market. However, the market is currently witnessing surging demand for sucralose as well.

Greater inclination towards natural food products is driving the market for stevia. The high demand for stevia can be attributed to it being a 100% natural sweetener. This is creating stiff competition for intense sweeteners such as sucralose, saccharin, and even aspartame. It is, however, anticipated that the market for sucralose will expand rapidly during the forecast period.

Application-wise, the global low calorie food market is segmented into tabletop, healthcare, food, and beverages. Ongoing market trends indicate that the use of low calorie food products will mainly be seen in the beverages market and will increase at a CAGR of 5.9% in the forecasting horizon.



The adverse health impacts of artificial sweeteners and the taste factors associated with low calorie foods, hamper the growth of the global low calorie food market.

Low-calorie Food Market fueling High Prevalence of Obesity in Developed Nations

According to the WHO, 1.5 mn deaths are directly associated with diabetes each year. WHO statistics from 2014 also show that 13% of adults around the world were suffering from obesity and 39% of adults were found to be overweight. Wrong food habits and high calorie intake are the prime reasons why an increasing number of people across the globe suffer from ailments such as diabetes and obesity. Thanks to the availability of low-calorie food, there is still hope for preventing obesity. Low-calorie food uses artificial sweeteners in place of sugar, thus developing the same amount of sweetness, but without the use of sugar. The increasing awareness among people about health issues and the rising incidence of diabetes and obesity have together shaped the global low-calorie food market.

Transparency Market Research (TMR), a leading business intelligence firm, in its recent report, mentions that the global market for low-calorie food is set to expand at a CAGR of 5.9% for the period from 2014 to 2019, reaching a total market value of US$10.4 bn by 2019. The modern-day lifestyle, in which junk food is being consumed more than ever, has given rise to the high incidence of obesity, which consequently often leads to diabetes, propelling the demand for low-calorie food. Consumers are increasingly beginning to view low-calorie food as a feasible way to combat and even prevent obesity and diabetes, thus fueling the low-calorie food market.

High Prevalence of Obesity in Developed Nations Boosts the Market for Low-calorie Food

Obesity is rampant in developed nations such as the U.K., the U.S., and Australia, where 20% of the population suffers from obesity. The increase in the disposable income among the people in developed nations allows them to conveniently stock up a wide variety of low-calorie food, thus stimulating the market for low-calorie food.

Growing Interest from Industry Participants Drives Low-calorie Food Market

Consumers have, in recent years, become increasingly health-conscious and more aware about the consequences of having sugary food and beverages. An increasing number of consumers prefer and demand low-calorie salad dressings, dairy products, low-calorie beverages, and sugar-free chewing gum. This demand from the consumers has compelled the participants of the food and beverages industry to make healthier food, driving the market for low-calorie food.


Evidence of Artificial Sweeteners Being Unsafe Restrains Low-calorie Food Market

Contrary to the popular belief that low-calorie foods and beverages help lose weight and prevent diabetes, an increasing amount of evidence shows that artificial sweeteners such as aspartame can cause weight gain, affect the blood glucose level, and even interfere with insulin response. The growing evidence of artificial sweeteners being unsafe is a major challenge faced by the low-calorie food market.

Another factor that can restrain the market for low-calorie food is the high price of low-calorie food. This is especially true for APAC and RoW, making it difficult for market players to expand their operations in these regions.

Low-calorie Food Market to Reach US$10.4 bn by 2019 due to Increasing Health-consciousness amongst People

A new Transparency Market Research report states that the global low-calorie food market was valued at more than US$7.4 bn in 2013 and is predicted to reach US$10.4 bn by 2019. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.90% from 2014 to 2019. The title of the report is “Low-calorie Food Market - Global Forecast, Share, Size, Growth and Industry Analysis, 2014 - 2019”.

As per the report, the demand for low-calorie food is on the rise due to changing lifestyles, increasing health-consciousness amongst people, and increasing confidence of people in low-calorie food products on the market. In addition, the rising incidence of diabetes, obesity, and many other health issues is also raising the demand for low-calorie foods. On the other hand, the risk of side-effects caused by certain low-calorie food products may give rise to fatal conditions. This factor may impede the growth of the market for low-calorie foods in the coming years. In addition, high prices of low-calorie foods have decreased their popularity in emerging economies. This factor may also restrain the growth of the market in the forthcoming years.


The report segments the market on the basis of type, application, and geography.

On the basis of product type, the market is segmented into Sucralose, Stevia, Cyclamate, Saccharin, and Aspartame. Amongst these, Aspartame is amongst the most commonly utilized artificial sweeteners. However, the demand for Sucralose is more as compared to that of Aspartame. The Sucralose product segment is also poised to be the most swiftly developing segment and is expected to exhibit a strong growth rate in the coming years. Stevia has also been gaining popularity owing to the rising preference of consumers for all-natural products. Hence, Stevia is exhibiting tough competition to all other high-intensity sweeteners due to it being a 100% natural and zero-calorie sweetener.

On the basis of application, the low-calorie food market is segmented into beverages, food, tabletop, healthcare, and others. Amongst these, the utilization of low-calorie food products within the beverage sector is poised to rise at a CAGR of 5.90% between 2014 and 2019.


On the basis of geography, the market is segmented into Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW). North America is the biggest low-calorie food market, trailed by the regional segment of Europe. On the other hand, the low-calorie food market in Asia Pacific and RoW is still in the nascent stage owing to the high prices of low-calorie foods, but these two regions are poised to exhibit lucrative opportunities for companies in the market for low-calorie foods in the coming years.
As per the report, the prime players operating in the market for low-calories foods include PepsiCo Inc., The Coca-Cola Company, Groupe Danone, Bernard Food Industries, Inc., Nestle S.A., Ajinomoto Co., Inc., McNeil Nutritionals, and LLC and Cargill, Incorporated, among others.
