Salts and Flavored Salts Market Analysis
The global salts and flavored salts market is projected to register a CAGR of 3.83% during the forecast period.
- The global market for salt and flavored salts is constantly changing and highly fragmented, with small and domestic players holding a significant portion of the market share. Salt is an essential component of human nutrition and will continue to be a popular market. The flavored salt market is influenced by food industry trends, particularly those in the fast food and meat industries.
- Flavored salt is similar to regular table salt, except that it contains other herbs and spices for more complex flavors. The market is considered to be recession-proof, as consumers can use flavored salts for home cooking. The demand for foreign cuisines, such as Italian and French food, which require specialized flavors and seasonings, is fueling the growth of the market.
- Organic flavored salts made from all-natural ingredients represent a growing opportunity in the market. The growing demand for gourmet salts is driven by rapid globalization, consumer awareness, and frequent innovations in ingredients and flavors. Consumers' evolving lifestyles and food habits are driving them to prefer healthy food options, which is reflected in their increasing per capita spending.
- However, consumers are also becoming more aware of the ill effects of excessive sodium intake and the harmful effects of fast food. As a result, sodium reduction ingredients are becoming a significant restraint on the industry. Mineral salts such as potassium chloride, magnesium sulfate, calcium chloride, and potassium lactate are commonly used as sodium reduction ingredients due to their widespread availability and potential to replace normal salt in terms of functionality and taste.
- Government and private company interventions to increase public awareness about the harmful effects of excessive sodium intake and the increasing demand for processed food containing high levels of salt are expected to further increase the demand for sodium reduction ingredients and restrain the market growth.
