Key Highlights
  • Rising consumer concern over synthetic additives in seasonings, dressings, and sauces is driving demand for fresher, more natural, organic, and minimally processed ingredients. Clean‑label offerings-preservative‑free, sugar‑free, no colorants are gaining traction, while full ingredient transparency and third‑party certifications reinforce trust.
  • Despite sustainability pressures, plastic packaging-particularly hygienic stand‑up pouches and sachets has surged in popularity due to heightened post‑pandemic hygiene awareness. Meanwhile, smaller, portable pack sizes are increasingly favored, reflecting evolving preferences for convenience and informed, health‑conscious purchasing decisions. Manufacturers are actively responding, reformulating products and innovating ingredients and formats to align with these evolving consumer values and market trends.
