Sauces, Dressings and Condiments in China

PROSPECTS

Sauces, dressings and condiments gains more traction from foodservice

With consumers dining out more and increasing their demand for food delivery during both their leisure time and overtime working, consumer foodservice continued to see healthy expansion in 2018. The delicacies and time-saving offered by foodservice can hardly be both met by home cooking.

Clean label is increasingly emphasised in soy sauces

As one of the most mature sauce types in China, low-quality blended soy sauce produced by rapid fermenting has been largely eliminated. With the rising demand for natural and pure, reassuring food, high-quality fermented soy sauce has great appeal, represented by clean label products.

Industrial upgrading underpins the growth of pickled products

Pickles was a heated term in 2017-2018, because the outlook of prosperity for such inferior goods could be taken as an unhappy economic indicator. In normal circumstances, consumers reduce their consumption when they become poorer, but raise the demand for inferior goods during hard times.
