Market Growth Factors
Retail and e-commerce expansion is a major contributor to market growth. Supermarkets and hypermarkets continue increasing premium cured meat offerings including Jamón Ibérico, Chorizo, and regional artisanal varieties. Specialty delis highlight gourmet items with distinctive regional flavors. E-commerce platforms enhance access to high-end products, supporting subscription models and cross-border sales. Spain’s e-commerce user base is expected to reach 40 million by 2025, representing a 25% increase, while online sales hit USD 72 Billion in 2022, amounting to 5.7% of GDP.
Health-conscious consumer preferences for nitrate-free, organic, and minimally processed cured meats are accelerating demand. Shoppers increasingly prioritize traceability, animal welfare, and clean-label products. Premium cured meats such as Jamón Ibérico, Chorizo, and Lomo embuchado produced with minimal additives attract gourmet buyers willing to pay higher prices. In December 2024, producers in Girona launched Catalonia’s first Wagyu cured meats, commanding premium pricing due to rarity and specialized breeding.
