- The cafes and bars segment dominates the Spanish foodservice market. The segment witnessed a growth of 46.52% in sales in 2022 compared to 2020. There is a higher market penetration of nightclubs, discos, and bars with live music concerts in Spain. The popularity of pubs is also growing with the rising number of tourists. In 2022, 30.2 million international tourists arrived in Spain. Thus, operators are focusing more on offering a diverse range of appetizers and imported alcohol and investing more in developing the ambiance.
- In the full-service restaurants segment, Asian restaurants dominate the market, owing to the rising number of Asian tourists, mainly from the Philippines, South Korea, and Japan. For instance, in 2022, 1.49 million tourists from Japan and 431,628 tourists each from the Philippines and South Korea visited Spain. Thus, large-scale operators offer Pan-Asian cuisine in fine-dining restaurant setups to encourage both locals and tourists.
- The quick service restaurant segment of the market was dominated by meat-based cuisines, which accounted for an estimated market share of 24.84% in 2022. Spain is the third-largest country in Europe with the highest meat consumption. For instance, in 2021, the per capita consumption of meat products amounted to 51 kg. Thus, a few QSRs, such as Telepizza, Burger King, and McDonald's, offer a range of meat-based products. The QSR market is anticipated to grow during the forecast period, anticipated to register a CAGR of 12.10%.
- The cloud kitchen segment witnessed significant growth post-pandemic as consumers preferred to make more online food orders, with a total count of 214 as of 2022. Due to low operating costs, a few operators have shifted toward virtual kitchens for offering selected takeaway foods.
