COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Unilever remains the clear leader
Unilever del Uruguay SA has retained a sizeable overall lead in sauces, dips and condiments in value terms in 2025. While its share of total sales remains unchanged on 2024, the company continues to post healthy growth thanks to enduring consumer loyalty towards its Hellmann's (mayonnaise, ketchup), Savora (mustard) and Knorr (stock cubes and powders, pasta sauces) brands, which are offered in a number of different varieties and packaging formats.
COUSA is the best performing company
Local manufacturer Cía Oleaginosa Uruguaya SA (COUSA) remains the second leading player in sauces, dips and condiments, and is anticipated to record the highest growth rate and the largest increase in its overall value share in 2025. The company’s Delicia brand continues to gain ground in mayonnaise thanks to its longstanding reputation for offering decent quality at a competitive price point.
