Spain Table Grape Market - Strategic Insights and Forecasts (2023-2028)

The Spain Table Grape Market is projected to grow strongly during the forecast period.

Grapes grown for fresh consumption are known as table grapes, as opposed to grapes grown for winemaking, juice production, or drying into raisins. Despite all indications that quality and flavor would exceed expectations, Spain has grown due to smaller-than-expected grape sizes.

According to the CBI of the European Union, the primary grape suppliers for the European market are Italy, Spain, and Greece. Spain, after Italy, is the world's second-largest producer and a net exporter of table grapes. However, shipments have increased in recent years. The increasing production and imports of table grapes in the Spain region will boost the market growth of Spain table grapes during the forecasted period.

Spain Table Grape Market Growth Drivers:

• The increasing grape production drives the table grapes market in the country.

As the production of table grapes increases, the market for table grapes in the Spain region will also increase, which leads to market growth. This opens new opportunities for producers of out-of-season grapes or neighboring countries that can fill supply gaps early in the Spanish season. According to the CBI of the European Union, the annual production of table grapes in Spain is about 300,000 tonnes per year.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization Corporate Statistical Database, the production of table grapes in Spain was 5,745,450 tonnes in 2019 and rose to 6,817,770 tonnes in 2020. This indicates that table grape production has the potential to rise in the Spain region and is expected to increase significantly, as the region's preference for table grapes grows, which is likely to boost the Spain table grape market.

• Increasing imports in the Spain region will drive the table grapes market growth

Spain ranks in the list of big regions in terms of table grape consumption. The overall Spanish consumption of fruits, including table grapes, increased, owing to stay-at-home orders and other restrictions, and because of its high imports of table grapes from other regions in the world.  The biggest suppliers are Peru, Chile, and Brazil, and Peru and Brazil are also the main drivers of the import increase. These rising imports demonstrate how Spain is establishing itself as a major European trading center for counter-seasonal grapes. The increasing imports of table grapes by the Spain region will also boost the market growth.

According to the USDA data, Spain imported 9,489 MT from Nov 2020-Aug 21, fresh table grapes, which increased to 10,536 MT from Nov 21 - Aug 22 from Chile as the highest exporter to Spain. As per the same source, Spain’s import from Chile was valued at 16,293,201 USD from Oct 20 - Aug 21, which increased by a huge margin of 418.2 % to a value of 84,426,297 USD from Oct 21 – Aug 22.  The market for table grapes in Spain improved as a result of higher consumption rates and high imports, which is expected to boost the market expansion for table grapes in the Spanish market.
