Eating behavior in Portugal - statistics & facts
As food products have been affected by severe inflation for various consecutive years, and while 2025 maintains the same trend, the Portuguese have been altering their eating behavior by reducing spending and making more thoughtful choices while buying food products. Not only did gastronomic habits change due to a tighter budget, but they are also changing because of health and environmental concerns. In 2024, over 80 percent of the Portuguese had a better diet because they wanted to be careful about their health and more than half pursued better eating habits due to animal and sustainability concerns.
