In addition, mild sauces are not extremely hot and allow consumers to enjoy the aroma and spicy flavour of chilli peppers. Moreover, hot sauces are increasingly available as a table sauce in restaurants and fast-food joints that are inspired by Mexican or Asian cuisines, such as Taco bell. These factors are projected to aid the market growth in the forecast period.
