Ice cream consumption is closely linked to high temperatures and, therefore, has a very seasonal consumption. Consequently, the ice cream consumption in Spain picked during the summer months. In particular, the highest consumption was in the month of July of 2020, with more than 30 million kilograms. On the other hand, the lowest consumption of this dairy product was in the winter months, specifically in January and February.
As mentioned, ice cream consumption is seasonal and occurs mostly in the summer months. In the months of June, July and August, the ice cream per capita expenditure in Spain amounted to 6.32 euros. This was the highest figure seen since 2013, following an uninterrupted string of increases.
Milk market resists in Spain
Milk was one of the traditional breakfast products in Spain. However, popularity has waned in the past few years. With the growth of diets that do not consume animal products, such as veganism, and the appearance of milk alternatives such as vegetable drinks and lactose-free products, milk consumption has declined in the last decade.
In spite of this, milk is still widely consumed in Spanish households. As a result, the milk consumption in Spain amounted to approximately 3.4 billion liters in 2020. One of its greatest advantages is the low price of milk in supermarkets in Spain, which was 0.69 euros in that year.
