Food market Sweden

With a population of just over 10 million people, Sweden is one of the EU's smaller national markets for food. Nevertheless, it is a high-income country and its per-capita GDP is among the highest in the world.

American products enjoy a favorable image and are known for high quality among Swedish consumers.
