The culinary delight, invented in Naples, has found a robust market in Spain, where it caters to diverse palates through various distribution channels such as commercial catering, supermarkets, and collective catering. The Spanish pizza landscape, dominated by a few prominent global brands, particularly in the fast-food sector, shows a higher tendency towards restaurant consumption. However, the convenience of online ordering and home delivery, pushed forward by innovative FoodTech players, has ushered in an increased preference for home consumption, which is further amplified by an expanding array of frozen pizza products. When it comes to global consumption, Spaniards stand among the world's top pizza lovers, with an estimated annual per capita expenditure between $80 and $90. This spending aligns with global trends that correlate pizza consumption with a country's wealth.

In this burgeoning market, Spaniards show a particular preference for refrigerated over frozen pizzas, indicating a growing customer base that has seen significant growth from 2014 to present. Spaniards are not just consuming more pizza; they're doing so more frequently, as evidenced by a sharp rise in very frequent consumers. This indicates an increasing regularity in pizza consumption patterns. In traditional restaurant settings, pizza rides high as the second most popular choice.

Summary and extracts

1 Market overview

1.1 Definition and scope of study

Pizza originated in Italy, and modern pizza was invented in Naples. Pizza is made of bread dough and is topped with various ingredients (e.g. tomato sauce, cheese, olives, olive oil), making it suitable for baking.

The main distribution channels for pizza are as follows:

  • Commercial catering (restaurants, fast food chains, sometimes franchised).
  • Hypermarkets and supermarkets
  • Collective catering

The pizza market in Spain seems relatively stable. Traditionally, pizza consumption is done outside the home, in restaurants. A few global brands dominate the market in fast food chains, but the market is more fragmented in full-service restaurants while consumers are also turning to home consumption.

This trend is facilitated by the catering sector and online delivery, but also by a wider range of products such as frozen pizzas. The shift towards take-away or online ordering is also fuelled by the arrival of FoodTech players, which has helped to further stimulate growth in the pizza market and its distributors.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the whole range of pizza and the ways of consuming it (fresh, chilled and frozen).
