Embracing the convenience of online shopping, producers have the potential to significantly broaden their market reach. This significant shift enables them to directly connect with a wider audience, offering an extensive array of sauces.

Impact of COVID-19 on Global Cooking Sauces Market

COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the Global Cooking Sauces Market. It resulted in closure of restaurants and hotels which is the primary consumer hubs for cooking sauces. Concurrently, household consumers, anticipating lockdowns, prioritized stocking basic food items. The closure of retail stores and disruptions in production further compounded the challenges. However, as lockdowns persisted and consumer hesitancy toward ordering food from outside continued, a shift occurred. Homebound consumers began experimenting with new dishes, resulting in a modest upturn in demand for cooking sauces and related ingredients. In response to this trend, cooking sauce manufacturers seized the opportunity, introducing new products to diversify their offerings. For instance, Jubilant FoodWorks launched a range of sauces and pastes named "ChefBoss" on August 06, 2020, through the e-commerce channel. These new product launches, combined with the gradual reopening of restaurants and food joints, have generated fresh demand for cooking sauces.

Moreover, the convenient access to a wide range of products and immediate exposure to merchandise enhances consumer satisfaction, attracting customers to hypermarkets and supermarkets and boosting sales in this segment.
