The spices used by the average consumer are still rather traditional, but new trends, such as those described for The Netherlands, have developed in certain markets, especially in Northern Europe and within more urban populations. The high quantity of spices consumed in Austria can be attributed to the huge usage of paprika powder in Hungariantype dishes. The principal end users of spices and herbs in all EU markets can be divided into three end user segments. In 1997 in almost all EU countries the largest proportion, being 55-60 per cent of the total usage of spices and herbs, was consumed by the industrial sector. The retail sector consumed 35-40 per cent and the catering sector 10-15 per cent. In Sweden, The Netherlands and Italy these proportions were respectively 55 per cent, 35 per cent and around 10 per cent. In most markets the ratio is moving towards higher relative usage by the industrial sector, reflecting the growing popularity of ready-to-use spice mixtures. Another reason is the increasing consumption of processed foods which often rely on spices and herbs to retain and enhance the food flavour. Industrial sector Spices are used particularly in the processing of meat, fish, canned products, sauces, soups, bakery goods and other prepared and convenience food. In most cases, the meat industry is by far the largest user of a wide range of spices. Other sectors, like the drink industry, use anise, badian and juniper in alcoholic drinks and liqueurs and use ginger in soft drinks. Ginger is also used in biscuits and pickles. Pepper and mustard are used in most savoury products and sauces, while mint is used in confectionery. Industrial food processing also includes spice mixing for meat factories, butchers bakers and packers for the catering sector. Grinders and blenders tend to make more multifunctional mixes to be used especially in the baking and meat processing industries. In 1998 the total industrial market amounted to 53,900 tonnes with a total value of ECU 494 million. Although it is a mature market, further growth is expected in the coming years. The food processing industry takes the largest proportion, as is shown in figure 4.2. 48
