Spices and seasonings are added to food products and beverages to improve their aroma, essence and taste. Spices, including cardamom, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and pepper, are plant-based substances that are commonly used for flavoring, coloring and preserving food. They are also extensively utilized in the production of medicines, cosmetics and perfumes. On the other hand, seasonings are mixtures of salts, herbs, spices and sugars that can have a sweet, savory, acidic or bitter taste. Cinnamon, paprika, and cumin are some of the most commonly used seasonings, which are added to enhance the flavor of any dish.

The growing hospitality industry, along with the increasing preference for ready-to-eat and ready-to-drink products, is among the key factors driving the growth of the market. Furthermore, there is a growing inclination among consumers to try innovative cuisines and flavor-rich dishes, which are prepared using a variety of spices and seasonings.
