Pepper Market

Market Insights

During the last decade, the global availability of pepper has increased substantially. There are three types of pepper: black, white, and green. The two main types of peppers sold are black and white. Black peppercorns are dried, ripe berries of the Piper nigrum plant, while white peppercorns are dehusked berries. Green peppers are preserved in brine or vinegar and are sometimes sold as a delicacy.

Worldwide, Vietnam is the largest pepper producer, accounting for more than 32% of total world production, followed by India and Indonesia, with about a 15% share each. Vietnam is the only country whose production has grown over the last decade, while other producing countries witnessed either a drop or stagnation in output. The major benefit of Vietnam is its vast production and the highest productivity across the world. India and Indonesia are the largest importers of pepper, followed by China and Malaysia.

Black pepper is also an excellent anti-inflammatory agent.

Pepper is known as the “king of spices.” Green, black, and white peppercorns all come from the same plant. They grow in clusters, such as grapes, and are harvested at various growth stages. Green peppercorns contain a mild flavor and are picked when they are very young. The black peppercorns are left on the plant to mature completely and develop a stronger flavor profile. It contains various nutrients such as manganese, vitamin K, and calcium. White peppercorns consist of only the inner seed of the black pepper berry, with the pericarp removed. The white peppercorn contains an additional strong flavor with a slightly fermented smell and taste.

Black and white pepper account for more than 90% of the global pepper market. Black pepper is the world’s most traded spice. The market for black pepper is witnessing growth on the back of increasing demand from various end-user industries, such as processed food, ready-to-eat food, bakery products, and personal care products. The market for white pepper is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% in terms of volume during the forecast period of 2016 to 2023. White pepper is mostly used in Europe, particularly France, and is also popular in Japan.

Unlike in the past, pepper is used in many ways today. Apart from its use in food, it also finds applications in preparing traditional and modern medicines, perfumes, nutraceuticals, and other products. In 2015, the food and beverage segment accounted for more than 45% of the global pepper market in value. It is projected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. Due to its antioxidant and antibacterial properties, pepper is often used in skincare products. The personal care and cosmetics segment is projected to witness the fastest growth rate during the forecast period of 2016 to 2023.

This fundamental property of pepper is utilized by using it in pain-relieving gels and sprays. The capsaicin in the pepper also has anti-inflammatory properties. It is, therefore, extremely beneficial for cancer cure, weight loss, cough cure, digestion improvement, and other diseases. Also, pepper is used in many different forms. Some of the value-added products that have been developed consisting of pepper oil, pepper oleoresin, dehydrated green pepper, and freeze-dried pepper and green pepper in brine.
