Earlier Report Observations
The Swedish sulphites market expanded substantially between 2018 and 2021, with physical volume rising from 52 465 t to 67 185 t. In value terms, growth was even more pronounced, climbing from 9 720 тыс. долл. США to 14 924 тыс. долл. США, suggesting an increase in average prices or a shift toward higher-value sulphite applications during the period.
Market dynamics were influenced by growing consumer awareness of sulphites' health implications. In 2018, a test of popular wines revealed high sulphite levels, underscoring allergic risks and existing EU labeling requirements. This heightened scrutiny continued, culminating in 2024 when sulphites were designated 'Allergen of the Year,' further focusing attention on their presence across food, beverage, and pharmaceutical products.
