Food is an important part of every person’s life, and the Spaniards know this very well. As of January 2022, Spain could count on its more than 30,000 food and beverage companies to enjoy the country’s Mediterranean flavors.
Andalusia, being one of Spain’s biggest regions, had the largest number of this type of companies (nearly 5,590). Catalonia ranked second on the list with figures amounting to nearly four thousand food and beverage companies.
The food and beverage sector in Spain
The food and beverage industry revenues have been fluctuating in recent years, with the a peak registered at approximately 54.2 billion euros in 2019. As for consumption, it is worth noting that Spaniards' consumption of most products have seen a decrease between August 2021 and August 2022, perhaps due to inflation.
The Spanish tradition of eating at home
The average Spaniard spent much more on their at-home food and drinks than eating out. At-home expenditure in Spain stood at approximately 73.9 billion euros in 2022. On the other hand, the annual away-from-home food and beverage expenditure has been much lower than the at-home one, hitting a record low in 2020 at 22.73 billion euros. The sector however picked up since, and by 2022 the expenditure on food and beverages away from home reached approximately 33.9 billion euros.
