Earlier Report Observations

The Swedish market for prepared or preserved beef and offal grew in 2018–2019, with volume rising from 10 153 t to 10 531 t, before a slight dip to 10 226 t in 2020. This expansion was driven by increasing domestic production and falling imports, as consumer preferences shifted decisively toward Swedish meat. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 altered consumption patterns temporarily, but the market remained resilient.

A sharp contraction followed from 2021 onward, with market volume plummeting to 4 505 t in 2022. The primary cause was a dramatic surge in exports, which more than doubled from 6 532 t in 2021 to 11 922 t in 2022. This export boom was likely fueled by Swedish producers’ focus on sustainability certifications and climate‑friendly practices, alongside regulatory changes that enhanced the international appeal of Swedish beef.

In 2023, the market volume partially recovered to 4 895 t as exports remained high but production and import levels stabilized.
