In 2023, European household expenditure on food showed significant variation across countries. Iceland, Luxembourg, and Norway topped the list with the highest per capita spending above 3,000 Euros. Slovakia, Latvia, and Bulgaria saw notable year-on-year increases, registering over 9% growth. In contrast, the United Kingdom and Ireland experienced modest increases below 2%. Over the past five years, countries like Portugal and Estonia have consistently demonstrated strong average growth rates.
Looking forward, emerging trends in sustainability, local sourcing, and shifts in dietary preferences will influence spending patterns. As economies stabilize post-pandemic, expect further diversification in expenditure as households prioritize both quality and value.
