The price of fresh chicken cuts in Sweden increased significantly from 2011 to 2020, with a notable surge in 2019, where it rose from 7.5 euros per kilogram in 2018 to 9.36 euros, and further to 10.58 euros in 2020. Recent years have shown a steady increase with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 5% over the last five years. As of 2023, prices have continued to rise above 2020 levels, driven by supply chain disruptions and increasing production costs.
Future trends to watch:
- Impact of inflationary pressures on production costs.
- Potential changes in consumer demand for alternatives due to price increase.
- Regulatory impacts on the poultry industry, especially regarding sustainability measures.
