Earlier Report Observations

The Portuguese mustard powder and prepared mustard market was shaped by the strong presence of Casa Mendes Gonçalves, which dominated with over 200 mustard sauce references and exports to PALOP countries. Consumer preferences for traditional and regional mild and spicy mustards, along with a trend toward local and high-quality products, supported market volume growth to 2 307 t in 2019. However, in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a contraction to 1 956 t, though interest in functional mustards with selenium and magnesium offered some resilience.

Recovery began in 2021, reaching 2 136 t, fueled by Casa Mendes Gonçalves' announcement of a €40 million investment in a new production facility by 2027 and the launch of innovative products like Mostarda Sacana with piri-piri. The market surged to 2 800 t in 2022 as the company reported €47 million in revenue and gourmet, artisanal mustards gained popularity. Volume stabilized at 2 793 t in 2023, but value rose due to premiumization driven by health-conscious consumers seeking natural and functional benefits.

In 2024, market volume expanded to 3 286 t, accelerated by updated EU organic production and labeling regulations (Regulation (EU) 2018/848 and its 2024/2025 amendments), which heightened focus on sustainability and organic mustard products.
