This has massively increased the popularity of many regional cuisines and food items, that require sauces and dressings for their preparation.

Table sauces are further of different types, namely horseradish sauce, chili sauce, mayonnaise, soy sauce, oyster sauce, mustard sauce, and barbecue sauce. The demand for tomato sauce has been the highest in the past among all the table sauces.

When distribution channel is taken into consideration, the sauces, dressings, and condiments market is categorized into convenience stores, specialist retailers, supermarkets/hypermarkets, and others (which include internet retailers, non-grocery specialists, and mixed retailers). Out of all these, the convenience stores category is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period, both in terms of value and volume.

Geographically, the sauces, dressings, and condiments market was dominated by Asia-Pacific in 2017, as the demand for Mexican and Chinese cuisines is increasing. Young people, especially, are becoming more and more open to experimenting with new types of foods. Owing to the fact that international cuisines make wide usage of sauces, dressings, and condiments for preparing food, their demand is rising as well. Japan dominated the regional domain in 2017, as these products are used in traditional cuisine of the country.
