Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the market volume for fresh or chilled edible brassicas in Spain grew from 473 thousand tons to 561 thousand tons. This expansion was driven by rising demand for convenient and healthy food options, which spurred innovation and investment in the refrigerated solutions sector. Major players such as Casa Tarradellas, Campofrío, and Palacios strengthened their market presence by launching new products, including salads and other chilled dishes.

After peaking in 2020, market volume contracted to 510 thousand tons in 2021. A modest recovery followed in 2022, reaching 533 thousand tons. By 2023, the market fell to 467 thousand tons, coinciding with reported double-digit value growth in the refrigerated salad segment and a persistent 14% decline in household consumption of brassicas, reflecting shifting consumer preferences toward fresh and minimally processed foods.
