Condiments, Dressings and Sauces: Levelling up any dish
Savory sauces and dressings are an ever-present staple found in all types of restaurants – from fast-food to three-star Michelins.  They certainly aren’t going anywhere but up. What is their outlook for 2025, and which is the best way to prepare, transport and store them?
Sauces and dressings can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where early cultures utilized various mixtures of herbs, oils, and other ingredients to enhance the flavor of their meals. The art of sauce-making can be seen in the historical records of civilizations such as those of ancient Rome, where garum, a pungent fish sauce, was used commonly in culinary preparations. Similarly, the ancient Greeks and Chinese are also known to have developed a variety of sauces and dressings to accompany their meals, showcasing the global and timeless nature of these culinary components.
In fact, the global sauces, dressings, and condiment market size is expected to continually grow this year principally due to two factors: first, the rising demand for flavorful yet nutritious and healthy on-the-go options, as well as the popularity of international cuisines in the young adult demographic. According to Grand View Research, Inc., the market share for these items will expand at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2024 to 2030, with an expected cap of USD 237.54 billion by 2030 (2024).Â
