The potato market in Spain saw a slight decline in per capita consumption from its peak in 2018 at 8.37 kg to 7.84 kg in 2023. Over the past decade, there was an observable increase until 2018, after which the trend reversed. The most notable decline occurred in 2020, possibly influenced by pandemic-related disruptions. Year-on-year, consumption from 2022 to 2023 fell by 0.13%, and the compound annual growth rate over the past five years was approximately -1.3%, indicating a gradual decline in consumption habit among Spaniards.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Increasing popularity of low-carbohydrate diets, which may continue to impact potato consumption negatively.
- Potential shifts towards more versatile cooking and home-cooking trends, potentially boosting potato demand.
- Climate change impacts on potato yields and market supply stability, possibly affecting availability and prices.
