The North American seasoning and spice market has been affected by preventive measures imposed by the local governments of various nations in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. It led to the closure of trade or transportation in the international and local markets. For instance, according to the Trade Promotion Council of India, India is the largest producer, exporter, and consumer of spices in the world, but the United States is the largest importer, and it faced logistics and sourcing issues of spices such as pepper. Moreover, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers weren't dining away from home much. However, consumers sought bold flavors and spices reminiscent of restaurant-quality food for at-home consumption.
