Sales growth of more than 4.3% is expected to continue this year in the seasonings category, according to British Pepper & Spice, the UK’s leading supplier of retailer brand herbs, spices and seasonings. This will take the value of the market to £18.9m in 2001, up from £15.6m in 1999, demonstrating the UK’s increasing appetite for convenience.
Coupled with the consumer trend into more diverse cuisine, the total herbs, spices and seasonings sector is expected to be worth over £83 million by 2003. This positive market outlook follows steady increases throughout the 1990s, when the retail herbs and spices market saw rapid growth of 5.2 % in 1999 to £71 million. It is predicted to rise by a further 17.6% by 2003.
