San Jose, California (PRWEB) February 25, 2008
The world spices and seasonings market (http://www. strategyr. com/Spices_and_Seasonings_Market_Report. asp) stands enthused by the ethnic diversity in food consumption habits. Driven by the influx of immigrants into most countries, and the resultant widespread establishment of ethnic food stores to serve communities of immigrants, consumer familiarity with most new cuisines is on the rise. This is expected to result in increased demand for new exotic flavors, and spices. With consumer preferences inclining towards hotter, spicy and more pungent-flavored foods, demand for spices and seasonings is forecast to proportionately rise in the upcoming years. In the United States, for example, hotter, crispier and sharper flavors are growing in popularity, and bold, spicy flavors like red peppers, chili, paprika, and ginger, are scoring huge gains in the marketplace. Consumption of red pepper, and ginger, in the United States, grew by an exorbitant 235% and 657% respectively, in comparison to other spices such as coriander, cardamon, and cumin. The trend brings to fore, the rising sophistication of the American palate, and the growing willingness to experiment with adventurous flavors, and seasonings. Few of the hottest innovations in the market include –- a blend of chilli, and lime seasonings, garlic bread seasoning combined with red pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin and ginger, lemon pepper seasoning blended with coriander, black pepper, and habanero chilies.
The health and nutritional concerns of modern consumers are bringing organic spices into the limelight. Certified organic spices, which are grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides and dangerous fumigants are experiencing increased demand in the marketplace. On par with organic spices, sugar-free spice blends and chemical-free seasonings are also growing in popularity. Given, the growing trend towards labeling the nutritional value of spices on product packaging, manufacturers are confronted with the challenge to eliminate the fat, and carbohydrate content of spices and seasonings while simultaneously retaining its pristine flavor, and taste. Demand growth, in the global market, is forecast to rapidly transcend from the premium market to the mass-market strata, with seasoning blends that enable novice home cooks to imitate their favorite flavors of restaurant served dishes scoring the highest gains. "Pairing of Spices" is gathering momentum in the international market, encouraged largely by manufacturers' attempts to popularize bigger and bolder flavors by offering spices, herbs and extracts in assorted combinations. For instance, savory flavors are being used in sweet products i. e. rosemary with its sweet fresh aroma is used to complement citrus foods, while the minty taste of thyme is used to enhance the flavor of desserts. Vanilla's delicate aromatic flavor is being used to spice up food dishes ranging from seafood to salads.
