Earlier Report Observations

The Spanish fresh globe artichoke market opened the period at 196.4 thousand tons in 2018, with production boosted by expanded summer harvesting and proactive exploration of new export niches in countries like Canada and Germany. Market volume then declined to 187.4 thousand tons in 2019 and edged down slightly to 185.6 thousand tons in 2020, while Spain maintained its status as a leading global producer and exporter.

A notable recovery followed in 2021, with the market growing to 202.0 thousand tons. This increase was linked to the double-digit expansion of the refrigerated salad segment in Spain, which raised demand for fresh artichokes as an ingredient. The market contracted to 184.5 thousand tons in 2022, as climatic conditions affecting yields and strong export activity, with Spain being the world's second-largest exporter of fresh artichokes, shaped overall supply.

The downward movement continued in 2023, with market size falling to 172.1 thousand tons.
