Top Manufacturers in the India Spices Market

The India spices market size reached INR 2,00,643.7 Crores in 2024. As per the analysis by IMARC Group, the market is expected to reach INR 5,13,253.9 Crores by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.56% during 2025-2033. The top manufacturers in the India spices market are increasingly applying creative innovations in their existing product portfolio to explore newer business models. Apart from this, to meet the escalating demand for organic spices, organizations are undertaking several initiatives to educate the farmers regarding the advantages of environmentally friendly agrochemicals while encouraging their utilization. For instance, in 2012, the Sustainable Spices Initiative - India (SSI-I) was founded by the Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH) with an aim to transform the mainstream spice industry into a more sustainable market. They have designed the Sustainable Agriculture Practices (SAP) handbook, in collaboration with the India Institute of Spice Research (IISR), that lays down a package of practices for sustainable spice production.

Moreover, there is a growing adoption of biotechnological approaches involving microbial, such as hyper parasites and plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR)-coated seeds, which slow the growth of crop disease, extend their shelf life, and improve the overall yield. Besides this, manufacturers are utilizing DNA barcoding, which is another molecular technology that helps to detect adulterants in spice products, like black pepper powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and turmeric. This technique allows the identification of plant materials at the species level by sequencing short stretches of standardized gene sequences in an easy, rapid, and accurate manner. The variability of the gene sequence is analyzed to determine a unique ‘barcode’ for each species.
