The Manufacture of Spices and Condiments in South Africa
While almost all spices are imported, most condiments are produced locally, with the largest manufacturers in the seasonings, dressings, and sauces sector being Unilever, Tiger Brands, and Libstar. Spices are imported, mainly from India, China, Pakistan, Turkey, and Nigeria. Demand for spices and seasonings increased during the pandemic as sales of some spices linked to health benefits, such as ginger, turmeric, and garlic, increased. Spices are used extensively in the food industry, and demand is increasing globally due to the increasing preference for more flavourful and healthy foods.
Trends
In the seasonings, dressings, and sauces segment, private labels are growing faster than brands, mainly due to financially-constrained consumers trading down. Out of home dining and demand for convenient meals have increased and boosted demand for sauces, dressings and condiments from fast food outlets and restaurants. The growth of the processed food industry is also fuelling demand for spices and seasonings. There is growing demand for vegan options off a small base.
Competition
Competition in the sector is fierce among brands and private label, with consumers generally focused on price. The industry is dominated by major food companies that have economies of scale. There is pressure to reduce prices, and brands that are unable to invest in price promotions are losing ground as price is the leading sales driver in packaged food.
