Study Overview
Ham is the cured or cooked preparation of the pork leg or shoulder. The ham market is a component of the charcuterie industry. it should be noted that this study concerns exclusively pork ham, and therefore excludes "poultry ham". In Spain, there are two specific types of ham: white ham, made from white (pink) pigs, and Iberian ham, made from Iberian pigs. While the former is not specific to Spain, the latter, Iberian ham, reflects the unique history, know-how and flavors of Spanish culture. Iberian ham is thus characterized as a luxury product with high added value, exported worldwide. The market continues to expand. At national level, salesare set to rise by 9.73% between 2019 and 2023, despite the covid 19 pandemic. When we focus on the Iberian ham segment, the increase is even greater, with sales up 22.50%, thanks in particular to new international outlets.
