Clean eating trends could suppress potential growth, while players aim
to offer healthier variants
Health and wellbeing trends are likely to influence sauces, dips, and condiments beyond the
reduced-salt trend. Indeed, a growing number of consumers are seeking “clean” diets and
choosing simple cooking methods, such as to boil or sauté, which do not require additional
sauces in the same way as some other cooking methods. Within this, we also see the rise of
vegetarian dishes, which consumers both cook at home and seek when they dine out. Indeed,
foodservice is also seeing a higher penetration of healthy-positioned foods, such as low-carb
and plant-based.
Within this context, players are developing their brands to offer healthier variants (eg Chin-Su
reduced-salt fish sauce). However, it is the higher-income consumer segment which tends to be
the most health-conscious are willing to pay more for premium products with a healthy
positioning. Indeed, many consumers believe that premium products are inherently better for
their health, irrespective of any specific health and wellness attributes, and that products made
with natural ingredients are inherently superior in terms of quality to those made using artificial

ingredients. With this in mind, over the forecast period it can be expected that demand will rise
for brands promoted as being naturally healthy. Further examples include developments in
Cholimex (from Cholon Investment & Import-Export Co (CHOLIMEX)) in chilli sauces, Knorr
Natural (from Unilever Vietnam International Co Ltd) in stock powders and, of course Chin-Su
(from Masan) in fish sauce, with Chin-Su being made from fresh natural anchovy as well as
offering its reduced-salt version.
