JournalHeat Board — registry coverage
Coverage, not popularity. These numbers describe what the registry holds — not the size of the hot sauce market, and not which sauces sell best.
Makers on record per place
Places are the state or country recorded for each maker — one place per maker. Makers in the United States are listed by state; makers elsewhere are listed by country. Selling makers are recorded in all 50 US states. Tap a place to open the full maker list for that place.
North America — 1,037 makers · 66 places

Europe — 181 makers · 26 places
Oceania — 58 makers · 3 places
Asia — 41 makers · 12 places
Africa — 17 makers · 4 places
Counts are makers currently selling, by the place recorded for each maker. 105 makers have no place on record and are not in this chart — see the list. The District of Columbia is counted with the United States here; the "Other places" tile above counts it as other, so its 64 = 48 countries and territories + DC. Bars are scaled to the largest place (Canada, 117 makers).
