Market Growth Factors

A driver of the hot sauce market in Germany has been changing tastes and the globalization of gastronomy which means Germans are exposed to foreign spice cultures through travel, media and immigration. This supports growing consumer demand for Latin American, Asian and African-style hot sauces in particular. Additionally, consumers (especially the younger segment) are getting accustomed to greater heat and spice and reshaping hot sauce's original culinary boundaries beyond the urban environment to the suburban.

As ethnic food outlets become more and more common, new hot sauces find their way onto the German market via the internet. New organic and small-batch hot sauces are also increasingly available to niche customers through specialty shops and hypermarkets. Online shopping eases broad and easier access to comparing and purchasing a large variety of goods, including luxury and limited edition items. Subscription boxes and direct-to-consumer models also allow consumers to be engaged with a product on a regular basis. Retailers who optimize search engines and market to targets also can improve an online presence through it.

Healthy, functional foods and beverages drive market growth. German consumers want all-natural products without artificial preservatives, added sugars, or other additives inside. They are interested in organic, vegan or gluten-free hot sauces of high quality variety. Health bloggers and nutritionists market capsaicin as a metabolism booster, circulatory stimulant and anti-inflammatory dietary supplement, this widely occurring in chili peppers. Hot sauce has therefore been raised from an optional condiment to the status of a functional food. Hot sauce manufacturers quickly capitalize on this new trend.
