The forecast for inbound tourism expenditure on food and beverage serving services in Sweden shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, the expenditure is expected to be 9.22 billion SEK. This figure decreases year-on-year to 9.08 billion SEK in 2025, 8.93 billion SEK in 2026, 8.79 billion SEK in 2027, and 8.65 billion SEK in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decline of approximately -1.52% from 2024 to 2025, -1.65% from 2025 to 2026, -1.57% from 2026 to 2027, and -1.59% from 2027 to 2028. The cumulative annual growth rate over these five years indicates an average annual decline of around -1.58%.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of global travel restrictions, changes in tourists' spending behavior, and improvements in Sweden’s hospitality infrastructure. Additionally, economic conditions in key source markets for inbound tourism and evolving consumer preferences towards sustainability and local cuisine may influence future expenditure in this sector.
