This category often encompasses salsas, pasta sauce, mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, oils, vinegars, salad dressings, relishes, herbs, spices, seasoning mixes, jams, jellies, conserves, honey and syrups. This popularity of these products helps to push the success of the seasoning, sauce and condiment category globally. Statistics show that U.S. sales of all condiments, dressings and marinades amounted to nearly $11 billion in 2013, which is a boost from about $91.5 billion in 2012.

Research shows that the sauces, dressings and condiments category saw steady growth from 2007 to 2012, largely due to cost-conscious consumers who opted to eat at home following the recession.
