Study Overview

A sauce is a liquid or semi-liquid preparation that accompanies certain dishes. There are many different types of sauce, and in this study we will distinguish between hot and cold sauces. We will focus on the retail market for sauces, although out-of-home catering is also a customer for sauce manufacturers, as is the food industry for intermediate consumption. The sauces market is a sub-segment of the condiments and seasonings market, and mainly comprises :

tomato-based sauces (ketchup, bolognese, etc.) and soy sauces emulsified sauces (mayonnaise, salad dressing, etc.) ready-made sauces (béarnaise, etc.) vinaigrette sauces prepared mustards

On a global scale, the market is growing fast and is marked by a wide range of products. It is dominated by the two groups Kraft Heinz and Unilever, which own numerous brands. In France, the value of sauce production by French companies has been growing at an average annual rate of 2% for almost a decade. Nevertheless, France relies on foreign exports to meet domestic demand. In 2023, sales of sauces in France are expected to grow by around 12% compared with 2022. Both Kraft Heinz and Unilever are present in France via French brands such as Benedicta and Amora-Maille . Worldwide, the sauces and condiments market is expected to grow strongly over the period 2023 - 2032, with a compound growth rate equal to 5.6%. Organic and natural trends are not escaping the sauces market, which remains highly competitive in France with new recipes being launched frequently.
