Market Analysis
In recent years, the European market for spices such as star anise, Chinese cinnamon, cumin, and fennel has experienced substantial growth. The demand is driven by the rising popularity of global cuisines, which often feature these spices as key ingredients. Additionally, the health benefits associated with these spices, such as anti-inflammatory and digestive properties, have further boosted their popularity among health-conscious consumers.
