A growing sector

Catalonia's food service sector generates annual turnover of more than €24 billion, 8.9% of GDP. With 5,748 companies and 116,524 employees, the sector is undergoing a transformation towards sustainability and digitalisation, with trends such as growing demand for organic and local food, reducing food waste and the expansion of delivery and ghost kitchens.
