Preference for bold, exotic, fusion, and ethnic flavor variants:
The tendency toward the increased popularity of bold, exotic, fusion, and ethnic taste options is one of the characteristics that mark the development of the African hot sauce market. The consumers are becoming more attracted to the nature of the sauces that will have the traditional African spiciness, with the global tastes that will provide some unique experience of taste that will be accepted by both local and international tastes.
