Citrus fruit jJams, marmalades, jellies, purees or pastes market in Spain

Earlier Report Observations

The Spanish citrus jam market expanded from 2018 to 2020, with volume rising from 18 771 t to 20 793 t. Consumer shifts towards natural, organic products with higher fruit content and less sugar supported this growth. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 further accelerated demand as increased time at home led to greater breakfast consumption.

A severe downturn occurred in 2021 and 2022, with market volume falling to 12 943 t. In 2022, the citrus sector faced significant challenges including climate change impacts, labor conflicts, and a 15.6% drop in production, which constrained raw material availability for citrus jams and contributed to the market contraction.

In 2023, the market recovered to 15 069 t, driven by sustained consumer preference for natural and healthy ingredients, which helped revive demand despite previous supply-side constraints.
