Market Policies - Recent policies emphasize food safety and quality control, including the "14th Five-Year Plan for National Health" and various regulations aimed at optimizing food additive standards, which encourage the use of steviol glycosides and promote a shift towards a more standardized, green, and high-quality industry [6][9]. Industry Chain - The steviol glycoside industry chain includes upstream activities such as the cultivation and harvesting of Stevia, midstream processes like extraction and purification, and downstream applications in food, beverages, health products, pharmaceuticals, and daily chemicals [6][8]. Current Market Demand - The food and beverage sectors are the primary consumers of steviol glycosides, with sugar-free beverages, baked goods, dairy products, and seasonings increasingly incorporating these sweeteners. By 2024, these sectors are expected to account for over 60% of the market [8][10]. Competitive Landscape - The market concentration of the steviol glycoside industry has increased, with leading companies such as Guilin Liyang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and Chenguang Biotech Group Co., Ltd. dominating the market through technological innovation and comprehensive industry chain strategies [10][11].
