Earlier Report Observations

The Spanish market for rusks and toasted bread started at 189.5 thousand tonnes in 2018, shaped by leading companies such as Mondelez Spain, Cerealto Siro Foods, Grupo Adam Foods, and Galletas Gullón. It grew to 209.2 thousand tonnes in 2019, then stabilized at 209.5 thousand tonnes in 2020 as COVID-19 lockdowns increased home consumption and consumer health concerns spurred innovation in healthier product varieties.

In 2021, the market surged to 235.9 thousand tonnes, driven by biscuits being perceived as a refuge product during the ongoing crisis, with a shift towards basic references, private labels, and promotional offers. This growth continued to 244.9 thousand tonnes in 2022, reinforced by Mondelez Spain consolidating its market leadership and a trend towards healthier positioned products without sugar.

Further expansion to 255.5 thousand tonnes occurred in 2023, supported by sector recovery from earlier cost pressures, rising internal consumption, and the entry of new player Bimbo into the biscuit market. By 2024, volume reached 258.7 thousand tonnes, confirming the recovery trend with sustained consumption growth, while the market value stabilized at 514.1 million US dollars.
