Sauces are essential liquid preparations that accompany dishes and give them a special flavor. There are many different types of sauce (tomato or soy-based, emulsified, prepared, vinaigrettes, prepared mustards, etc.). They can be sold in retail outlets, to caterers (hotels, restaurants, etc.) or to food manufacturers, who can incorporate them into their dishes.
Worldwide, the sauces market is particularly differentiated by region and country. Culinary habits differ widely from one region to another (tomato sauce in Italy, soy sauce in Japan, etc.), even if consumers are increasingly keen to try sauces typical of other parts of the world. The global market is growing, with a premiumization of more local and artisanal sauces, as well as greater consumption of prepared dishes that include sauces. Among the giants in this sector are Northwest Gourmet Foods, Kraft Heinz Company and Unilever.
In Spain, sales of sauces in supermarkets exceed 270 million tons sold each year. By 2021, Spain will be the world's 10th largest exporter of sauces and condiments[The Observatory of Economic Complexity]. The market is driven by :
the development of a new, lighter and healthier offer,
the launch of new flavors that appeal to consumers willing to try these new products.
The health crisis has led to a drop in sales to the out-of-home catering sector, partly offset by more dynamic demand in supermarkets, as households have more time to cook and try out new dishes. Local sauces, as well as gluten-, preservative- and lactose-free sauces, are also enjoying strong growth.
