India Table Sauces Market Research Report, 2027-28

Table sauces refer to a preparation that is added to food, typically after cooking, to impart a specific flavour, to enhance the flavour, or to complement the dish. Certain sauces are using prior to serving while some are used during cooking. They have become a part of the daily diet across countries, hence generating high their demand. Increase in popularity of healthy convenience food products among consumers in the recent past has propelled the demand for table sauces. Consumers are shifting their preference toward portable, convenient, and inventive ways to consume healthy on-the-go foods, generally with premium, indulgent and exotic products, which significantly contributes toward the growth of the table sauce market.

According to the report, “India Table Market Research Report, 2027-28” published by Actual Market Research, the market is anticipated to grow with more than 9.5% CAGR for the forecast period. Consumers today demand enhanced taste experience with high quality, sustainable diets that have perceived health benefits. Due to this reason, there has been a noticeable shift from unhealthy products to healthy food products. This has consequently augmented the demand for table sauce, especially that are prepared using natural ingredients. Furthermore, with the rise in cross-border cuisine, there has been a considerable growth for exotic sauces. However, the use of preservatives and artificial sweeteners in table sauces can potentially hinder the table sauce market growth. This is because consumers are gradually becoming health conscious and informed about the ingredients in their food products.

The sauces and condiments industry is going through a period of major shifts in consumer preferences. In fact, consumers’ evolving choice has influenced sauces and condiments production and consumption at all stages of the value chain. Now, people are increasingly health-conscious and more interested in functional foods with additional health benefits. So, demand for healthy and “clean label” products is increasingly growing and is one of the leading trends in the global industry. Aspects such as price and taste are no longer the main drivers of choice for consumers. Instead, consumers’ behaviour has been significantly influenced by the growing importance of health and wellness, sustainability and social responsibility, as well as by the desire for new experiences.

On the other hand, sauces and condiments as FMCG products are highly sensitive with regards to changes in consumer preferences. One of the leading trends not only in the sauces and condiments industry, but also in the food industry as a whole is linked with the constantly changing eating habits. In recent years, the customers are changing their eating habits and lifestyle more regularly. In particular, now, there are increasingly popular diets such as Ketogenic and Paleo, which promote the high consumption of fats, due to which consumers continue to cut their carbohydrate intake. Sauces-dipping and cooking as a food segment is seeing a steady spike as people are getting swish with their culinary experiments to bring home the joys of dining out, as many restaurants, cafes, and pubs continue to remain shut to curb the spread of coronavirus. Aiding the process is a myriad of sauces available in the Indian market like Aioli, Arrabiata, Chipotle, Peri Peri, Harissa, Asian Sweet Chilli, Sriracha, Schezwan, Hollandaise just ready to be added to raise the oomph of any dish or cuisine.

Naturally, top companies in the sauce segment such as Dr Oetker, Del Monte, Cremica Food Industries, Veeba, Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL), Nestle, Smith and Jones among others have all seen an uptick in demand over the last four months. While ketchup has been the traditional and most popular table sauce in India for years, demonstrating strong value growth year-on-year, other sauces like mayonnaise, salsa, sweet onion, etc have been fast catching up. In India, the addition of new varieties of sauces, dressings and dips to the traditional fare, especially catering to the Indian consumer’s global palate by companies like Veeba Food Services, Ceramica, Del Monte, have further pushed sales in this food segment.

Covid-19 Impacts:
Amidst the unprecedented Coronavirus outbreak and indefinite lockdown imposed across the world, the food and beverages industry including condiments and sauces with extended shelf life witnessed surging demand. Consequently, the demand for such products skyrocketed during the first phase of the crisis. even as demand increased, the lockdown left companies struggling to cope with various supply chain disruptions. Further, with out-of-home sectors like hospitality, restaurants, severely compromised during the lockdown, the sauce and condiment companies lost a chunk of that business. For Instance Veeba, which supplied to chains like Domino’s, Pizza Hut, Dunkin Donuts, Burger King, KFC, and Starbucks, took a big hit like many others in this segment.
