Analyst Opinion

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the activity of cooking at home has become increasingly popular, boding well for the Sauces & Spices segment. Furthermore, the space has witnessed the emergence of numerous profitable start-ups in recent years. For example, Truff, a hot sauce start-up based in the U.S., saw a 400% increase in sales in March 2020 and garnered nearly US$25 million in revenues that same year, according to various estimates. Moreover, the emergence of new sauces in Western markets, such as Sriracha and Chimichurri, as well as organic, non-GMO, and gluten-free varieties are expected to drive segment growth in the short to medium term. The rising popularity of ethnic cuisines, such as those from Asian and Mediterranean countries, which frequently use a variety of flavorful sauces, are also projected to be an influencing factor in this segment’s growth.

Companies are also looking to target health-conscious consumers by launching product varieties with health and nutritional benefits. For instance, UK-based Loyd Grossman Sauces launched a wholegrain Bolognese sauce, which is being marketed as being rich in fiber and proteins as it contains tomato sauce ingredients that have been blended with quinoa and lentils.
