Summary

The global pizza market continues to experience growth, particularly in the Asia Pacific, China, and Latin America regions. Despite its maturity, the European market remains a strong player, especially in Spain, where the market dynamics are vigorous with several billion euros in turnover and sustained growth in pizzeria chains, especially due to the popularity of home delivery services. Notably, international chains such as Domino's Pizza, Pizza Hut, and Papa John's are significant in Spain, with a notable presence of independent pizzerias accounting for a considerable market share. The Spanish market reflects consumer trends favoring fast food expenditures and a shift towards healthier, more customized food options, including gluten-free and light pizzas.

The Spanish pizza market, valued at several billion euros, is vibrant and growing, fueled by both the proliferation of sales outlets and the rising popularity of home delivery services. The market itself is a mix of myriad independent pizzerias and a handful of large international players such as Domino's Pizza, Papa John's Pizza, Pizza Hut, and Telepizza, many of which operate their establishments as franchised entities. These chains are experiencing significant growth, with figures estimating at around 20% of the market value share, and Telepizza leading with a commanding market share close to 60%, followed by Domino's Pizza which holds around 15%. The graph showing growth rates of pizza markets worldwide in 2018 illustrates a swift expansion, particularly in the Asia Pacific, China, and Latin America markets. However, despite a lower growth rate of 5.9%, Western Europe, including Spain, maintains a robust position, owning the second-largest market value behind the United States, totaling around 47 billion euros. The number of franchised fast food establishments has seen a steep increase since 2010, reaching between 3200 and 3700 by 2018. With that expansion, turnover has similarly swelled from nearly 2.2 billion euros to approaching 3 billion euros. The graph detailing the openings and closures of franchised establishments in 2017 pinpoints pizzerias at the forefront, with around 115 openings and 33 closures, showcasing a dynamic and bustling market segment. Spaniards' lifestyles play a significant role in the market's success, with Spain leading in Europe for money spent on dining out. This proclivity aligns with the increasing trend towards home delivery, where services like Telepizza have reported higher growth in home delivery sales compared to in-restaurant sales. Dominating the Spanish pizza market are three leading global pizza chains marking their presence, alongside a vast array of independent outlets. A mix of downtime pizzerias and chains line Spain's food landscape, with franchises covering nearly three-quarters of the fast-food establishment scene. In terms of production, the pizza spans a wide range, from traditional classics to gourmet, gluten-free, and light options.
