Chilli Powder market size, share & industry analysis, By Source (Organic, Conventional), By Application (Food and Beverage, Cosmetics and Personal Care, Pharmaceuticals) and regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Chilli powder is obtained from dried, pulverized red chilly fruits of one or more varieties of chilli pepper. It is used for adding flavour and pungency to culinary preparations. Chilli powder is used in many different cuisines that include American, Indian, Mexican and others. Along with imparting colon and taste to the different dishes, chilli powder contains vitamin C that acts as an antioxidant thereby aiding in strengthening the immune system. Further, the gradual rise in liking for spicy food among the consumers has increased the consumption of chilli powder. These factors thus have cumulatively aided in fuelling its market growth.

Apart from its use as an essential spice in food, Chilli powder has application in many pharmaceuticals and cosmetics & personal care industries. The reason for using this spice is due to its high capsaicin content, which is the main bioactive compound and has pain-relieving, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory properties. On the other hand, the oleoresin oil extracted from chillies is utilized for making lipsticks. Thus, the growing pharma and cosmetics industries would support the growth of chilli powder market.

The increasing inclination of consumers towards organic and natural ingredients is majorly driving the chilli powder market growth. This has also led to a rise in demand for organic chilli powder with the growing focus of manufacturers on introducing new variants in the market. For instance, In April 2020, Ivar Agro, a manufacturer of household items in collaboration with MistyInteractive Studios has launched a new brand of organic spices, Ivar brands of Masala that includes Real Original Chicken Biryani Masala and Sharp Chilli Powder. Thus, the growing launch of variants would fuel the growth of the market.

The availability of relatively cheap synthetic substitutes for chilli powder coupled with chilli powder formulation and storage challenges are the factors restraining the market growth.
