Growing health consciousness is expected to contribute significantly towards fresh food packaging in Spain.

The Spain fresh food packaging market is expected to surge in the coming years due to the rise in health consciousness among the Spanish population. The prevalence of diseases is on a rise in Spain, which is leading to an increased number of consumers being health-conscious now and are buying more fresh foods, leading to an increased demand for fresh food packaging in the country. According to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), the prevalence of hypertensive heart disease has increased by 48.8% in the country from 2009 to 2019.

Furthermore, during the mentioned time period, the prevalence of colorectal cancer increased by 19.6%, chronic kidney disease by 23.2%, COPD by 18.9%, and ischemic heart disease by 3.8%. This is leading to consumers becoming more aware of what they eat, and hence there is an increased demand for packaging which provides proper and complete information about the food. According to data updated by Spain's Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food, in October 2020 the consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables in Spanish households increased by 11% over the same month of last year, totaling 726 million kilos. According to data from the MAPA Food Consumption Panel, in the first ten months of 2020 consumers spent 12,351 million euros (an increase of 20%) purchasing fruits and vegetables. 6,704 million euro corresponded to fruit purchases (an increase of 23%), 4,839 million euro to vegetable purchases (an increase of 16.5%), and 808 million euros to potato purchases (an increase of 17%). The trend in the increased purchase of fresh food is expected to continue and is projected to propel the growth of the fresh food packaging market in Spain during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Insights

The Spain fresh food packaging market witnessed a boom during the year 2020 owing to the COVID-19 pandemic which encouraged the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables in order to increase immunity. According to a report presented by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables increased by 10% and 12,5% respectively as compared to the previous year.

The advent of the pandemic significantly impacted the eating habits of the consumers resulting in a drastic shift of newer consumers in the fresh food market. According to a document by one of Spain's largest food cooperatives, ANECOOP, there has been a substantial increase in products perceived as foods that improve the immune system, such as citrus fruits, and certain vegetables. The widespread scare of the disease during the year encouraged the adoption of fresh fruits like Citrus fruits (orange, lemons, mandarins, and grapefruit), exotic fruits (bananas, kiwi, avocado, pineapple, and cherimoya), and fruits of seeds (grapes, apples, and pears). The trend is expected to continue during the forecast period and is expected to fuel the market for fresh food packaging in the coming years.
