Hot sauce, also known as chili sauce, is a type of condiment made from vinegar, chili peppers, garlic and salt. Many commercial varieties of mass-produced chili sauce exist, out of which some are canned with red tomato while others are fermented to add a distinct flavor element. They are widely used in the preparation of Asian, African and Latin American dishes. However, cross-cultural interaction has led to a rise in the consumption of hot sauces across the globe.
Hot sauce consists of a chemical called capsaicin that provides a distinctive spicy flavor to it. The sauce also contains vitamins, carbohydrates, minerals and antioxidants, which help in improving metabolism and eye health, and reducing the risk of cancer and congestion. Apart from this, with the rising number of fast-food chains and restaurants, the demand for hot sauce has increased as it is extensively used as a flavor enhancer in these establishments. Further, the easy availability of raw materials and longer shelf-life have resulted in the rising adoption of hot sauce. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach US$ 5.5 Billion by 2024, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.4% during 2019-2024.
