Hing has a 6–8% market share in India’s enormous spice market, but its flavor in Indian dishes is not as noticeable as, say, dry red chile or mustard. Indian asafetida importers typically purchase it in raw form, add value by compounding it, and then export it to the rest of the world. Over the past five years, asafetida exports have increased by 5.13%, with the United States, and Saudi. India includes Arabia, Singapore, and Malaysia.
