MARKET OVERVIEW

More often than not, consumers prefer in-house prepared food during unstable economic conditions and because of that seasoning market is considered to be recession-proof. It is an essential part of cuisine since it is responsible for adding aroma and taste to the food. It is mainly used in snacks to enhance the flavor of food. Because of globalization along with the rising influence of western countries, the seasoning market has risen significantly. An increasing number of consumers who consider seasoning to augment their meals with better tastes is the primary driver of this market. Rising disposable incomes in emerging economies and rapid urbanization are the secondary factors driving the growth of this market.
