The global export of salted, dried, or smoked swine hams and shoulders in 2023 was led by Spain, the United States, and Canada, with Spain showing the highest export volume. Spain exhibited positive growth compared to 2022, while the United States saw a decline. Notable growth was observed in Canada and Germany, while the United Kingdom and Ireland experienced significant decreases. Emerging markets such as Montenegro and Croatia showed promising increases, though their overall volumes remain small. The Czech Republic noted a substantial percentage rise year-on-year, illustrating potential for growth in less dominant markets.
The forecast for 2024 and beyond suggests several trends:
- Spain is likely to maintain its leading position, with a steady growth trajectory.
- Potential recovery for the United States if trade relations improve, though challenges remain.
- Emerging European markets such as Germany, Montenegro, and Croatia might see increased volumes due to improved production capabilities and trade networks.
- Risks from economic volatility and trade policy changes could impact smaller and developing market contributors like Latvia and Romania.
