The global pickles market exhibited moderate growth during 2015-2020. Pickles are a rich source of essential nutrients like vitamins, iron, calcium and potassium and possess anti-oxidant properties. They are prepared to preserve or extend the lifespan of a fruit, vegetable or a mix of both, by either anaerobic fermentation in brine or immersion in vinegar. They are known for a wide range of health benefits, such as improving digestion, supplying essential minerals and vitamins and reducing ulcers. In recent years, the aggressive promotional activities by the manufacturers have increased the popularity of cross-cultural cuisine which, in turn, has helped in driving the demand for pickles worldwide.
Market Drivers:
