Mintel and Pilkington track shifting consumer spending habits in Spain
What happened
Mintel is tracking consumer spending habits in Spain, in partnership with Pilkington. Mintel’s EMEA 2027 predictions for food and drink indicate that consumer priorities are shifting away from traditional demographics. These changes are driven by rising costs, climate disruption, and evolving lifestyles.

Why it matters
The research suggests that food and drink companies must adapt strategies to how consumers cope with economic pressures rather than relying on demographic profiles. Purchases are increasingly reflecting personal values, placing sustainability and regenerative agriculture in the spotlight.
