Earlier Report Observations

The Swedish sulphites and thiosulphates market volume grew from 52 547 tonnes in 2018 to 66 113 tonnes in 2020, reaching 67 304 tonnes in 2021. In value terms, the market increased from 9.8 million USD to 14.6 million USD over the same period, supported by a rise in domestic production from 46 172 tonnes to 55 459 tonnes.

Imports of sulphites and thiosulphates showed significant variability, climbing from 10 573 tonnes in 2018 to a peak of 21 637 tonnes in 2023 before dropping to 11 400 tonnes in 2024. Exports remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 1 332 tonnes and 2 288 tonnes annually throughout the period.

In 2022, key developments included the Swedish government's proposal to raise alcohol taxes in the 2023 budget, a measure that could affect wine consumption and the demand for sulphites used as preservatives. Simultaneously, long-standing EU labeling rules requiring declaration of sulphite levels above 10 mg/l in wine continued to influence consumer awareness and preferences towards products with lower sulphite content.
