Sugar-free products use visual appeal to overcome pessimism

Focusing on the visual aspect of alternatively sweetened products redirects attention, positioning sugar-free products as more special than their predecessors.
Trend Themes
1. Visual Appeal - Companies focus on the visual aspect of alternatively sweetened products to position sugar-free products as more special than their predecessors.
2. Natural Sweeteners - Businesses are exploring the use of natural sweeteners and ingredients to make healthier versions of traditional candies and sweets.
3. Sugar Alternatives - Sugar alternatives made from organic and exotic ingredients are gaining popularity for their diverse taste and healthful properties.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Food and beverage companies are exploring alternative ingredients and methods of production to create healthier, sustainable and more ethical products.
2. Health and Wellness - Health and wellness industries cater to the growing demand for organic and natural products that promote a better quality of life.
3. Packaging Design - As consumers focus on holistic health, packaging design plays an increasingly important role; businesses should look to design packaging that highlights the product's natural and wholesome ingredients.
