Spanish regional food expenditure and consumption trends

Overview

Economic data from 2025 highlights regional variations in food expenditure and consumption patterns across Spain.

In Asturias, per capita food expenditure reached €1,973.8, driven by a 4.1% year-on-year increase in food and non-alcoholic beverage prices, which exceeded the national average of 2.8%. Despite these high costs, the volume of food consumed in the region remained slightly below the national average.

Conversely, Extremadura reported the lowest annual per capita spending on food and beverages in Spain at €1,626.3, which is €248.45 below the national average. However, the volume of consumption in Extremadura was slightly higher than the Spanish average of 577.32 kg/liters.

A comparison of grocery prices also noted significant discrepancies between Spain and the United Kingdom. While a specific basket of goods was €6.92 cheaper in the UK, olive oil was notably more expensive in Spain, costing €8.90 per unit compared to €5.28 in the UK.
