Global Thaumatin Market: Overview

Thaumatin is a flavoring ingredient and low-calorie sweetener derived from the katemfe fruit, a West African native fruit. Thaumatin is water-soluble and exceptionally stable at high temperatures and acidic environments. A little amount of protein from the thaumatin family is 2000 times sweeter than sugar. Chocolates, toffies, candies, and a variety of other confectionery goods all contain thaumatin. It's also found in both dairy and non-dairy goods. It improves the flavor of some dishes by lowering bitterness and sourness. Because of its high sugar content, it has found use in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors.

Global Thaumatin Market: Growth Factors

Increasing consumption of non-dairy and dairy products, as well as rising health consciousness among consumers throughout the world, are boosting the global thaumatin market growth. Moreover, it can also be used as a sweetener in other products, such as ice cream and candies, up to a limit of 50 mg/kg. It's generally used as a flavor enhancer in soft drinks and dairy products, with limits of 0.5 mg/L and 5 mg/kg, respectively. Also, the use of thaumatin in pharmaceuticals and food is not limited to adding sweetness, but also to improving flavor and concealing unpleasant characteristics.

This protein has a gradual onset of sweetness and frequently has a licorice aftertaste. Because of its lingering impact, thaumatin is frequently used in conjunction with many other sugar alternatives. Further, the market is driven by macroeconomic variables such as growing economies, rapid urbanization, changing lifestyles, growing economies, and per capita income.

Furthermore, with the rapidly growing confectionery industry owing to the huge demand for products, and the modification of genes to make thaumatin protein using recombinant DNA technology, the global thaumatin market is likely to boost at a rapid rate during the forecast period. However, the high expense of traumatic extraction and the scarcity of katemfe fruit may impede the global thaumatin market expansion.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the market growth in FY 2020 and 2021 as a result of restrictions on the cross-border transport of goods and chemicals. Manufacturing plants also faced challenges with the shortage of labor and temporary shutdown which ultimately affected the overall revenue generation during the pandemic period.
