The global dark soy sauce market is propelled by several key drivers that collectively enhance its growth trajectory across international markets. The primary driver stems from the accelerating globalization of Asian cuisine, particularly Chinese, Japanese, and Korean food cultures, which has significantly increased consumer familiarity and demand for authentic Asian condiments including dark soy sauce. The rising health consciousness among consumers has also positively impacted market growth, as dark soy sauce is perceived as a natural flavor enhancer with potential health benefits including antioxidants and probiotics from the fermentation process.
