Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in
sector research for independent investors, issues a snapshot for
the global stevia market and stocks within the sector, including
Sunwin Stevia International, Inc. (OTCQB: SUWN).
Recently the President of the International Stevia Council (ISC)
said Stevia had "fundamentally changed the sweetener market.
"Lauren Bandy, Ingredients Research Analyst with Euromonitor
International told Investorideas.com, "There is no doubt that
stevia has shaken the high intensity sweeteners market, most of all
because it is sourced naturally. This puts it at a great advantage
to other high intensity sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose,
which are chemically derived. It still is relatively expensive
compared to other sweeteners such as sugar, and only represents 2%
of the high intensity sweeteners market in volume terms in 2012,
although this has doubled since 2011."
She went on to note, "I think stevia manufacturers will continue
to target large, multinational brands, as they are at the moment.
Stevia offers food and beverage manufacturers a way to reduce the
sugar content of their products in a more natural way. Health and
wellness is a key trend in the food and beverage sector and stevia
is perfectly positioned to capitalize on the growth of the
better-for-you market."
According to Foodingredientsfirst.com, "One year after the
European Union granted approval for steviolglycosides to be
marketed, WILD Flavors (Sunwin Stevia's (OTCQB: SUWN) distribution
partner) has noted positive interim results. The great-taste expert
has worked with customers to create a number of stevia-sweetened
products that have been market successes -- everything from
beverages to candies."
Sunwin (OTCQB: SUWN) began an expansion production project in
April 2012 in anticipation of an improvement in demand in the
coming years as the use of stevia as a healthy low calorie
sweetener continues to increase across the globe. Sunwin has begun
trial production of its new lines and anticipates its added
production capabilities to be fully operational in the first
quarter of calendar 2013.
Lauren Bandy reports, "Western Europe is the world's largest
packaged food market in value terms and was worth just under US$600
billion in 2012. Since its EU approval, stevia suppliers have
really been tapping into this lucrative market. Euromonitor shows
that stevia consumption in Western Europe in volume terms is
forecast to grow by 50% over 2012-2016, from 190 tonnes in 2012 to
nearly 300 tonnes in 2016.
"A number of key brands have since launched stevia containing
products in Europe - for example in France and Ireland, the Coca
Cola Company has reformulated Sprite using stevia, reducing sugar
content by 30%."
Health Canada just gave stevia the okay to become an ingredient
in mainstream food and beverages. PureCircle Limited, one of the
world's leading producer of high purity stevia ingredients for the
global food and beverage industry and GLG Life Tech say they have
been ramping up for the anticipated Canadian approval according to
a recent article in foodnavigator-usa.com.
In terms of potential obstacles Lauren Bandy said there are a
few to overcome. "India is the most significant market and the last
of the BRIC countries not to permit stevia as a sweetening
ingredient. Countries in Latin America and Asia Pacific - which
also have the fastest growing packaged food and soft drink markets
globally - have been using stevia for many years.
"The other hurdle to stevia's global success is the controversy
surrounding its natural status, a debate which is stronger in
Europe than America. Because stevia has an E number (E960) and
because steviol glycosides - the sweet compounds - have to be
extracted from the plant and processed, some consumers consider
stevia as 'just another additive'.
"Stevia's bitter aftertaste also remains an obstacle, although
this is a highly researched and rapidly developing area and is
unlikely to affect its market penetration; Euromonitor forecast
that stevia will have an annual growth rate of 23% globally over
2011-2016, in volume terms."
