2020 saw strong growth in sauces, dressings and condiments packaging as demand for many of these products spiked due to the huge shift towards preparing meals from scratch at home, rather than dining out in consumer foodservice outlets. The harsh realities of the COVID-19 pandemic and the strict approach taken to social distancing and home seclusion during the year led to consumers spending much of their time at home, benefiting a number of packaged food categories, including sauces, dressings and condiments.
Singapore has a large Chinese population and with soy sauces being widely used in Chinese cuisine sales of this product saw strong growth in 2020, resulting in a double-digit percentage increase in the packaging unit volumes used for soy sauces, which account for the greatest number of packaging units among the various table sauces. However, with the home-cooking trend slowing in 2021, given the easing of restrictions and the rollout of Singapore’s vaccination programme, demand for soy sauces went into decline, negatively impacting the packaging unit volumes of PET bottles and glass bottles used in soy sauces in 2021.
With all of Singapore’s consumer foodservice outlets closed for an extended period during 2020 under the auspices of the government’s COVID-19 control programme, consumers were left with little option but to prepare more of their meals at home. This underpinned a shift towards buying packaged food and fresh food from retail outlets to cook healthy and tasty meals.
Monosodium glutamate, which had been in ongoing decline prior to the pandemic, saw a one-off return to positive growth in 2020, with households having to cook and eat a lot more of their meals at home, but still looking for convenience in many cases. However, it returned to recording declining sales in 2021, which is expected to continue over the forecast period.
While e-commerce registered only moderate gains in sauces, dressings and condiments for most of the review period, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic provided a huge boost to online sales across the category during 2020. With many Singaporeans either unable or unwilling to visit store-based retailers to do their grocery shopping, many were forced to resort to online channels when sourcing these products.
