Trends in Catering and Events in 2026

El catering y los eventos gastronómicos abarcan todo servicio de alimentación fuera del establecimiento propio: bodas, eventos corporativos, galas, presentaciones de producto, afterworks y celebraciones privadas. En Madrid, es un sector con demanda sólida y diversificada que exige logística impecable, presupuestación precisa y capacidad de adaptación a cada cliente.

Madrid

Líder en catering corporativo

Madrid es el principal mercado de catering corporativo y de bodas en España. La ciudad acoge miles de eventos anuales en fincas, hoteles, espacios singulares y sedes corporativas. El sector se ha recuperado plenamente del impacto pandémico y crece impulsado por el turismo MICE (reuniones, incentivos, congresos y exposiciones).

International

300.000 M$ mercado global

El mercado global de catering se valora en más de 300.000 millones de dólares y crece al 5-6% anual. Las tendencias internacionales apuntan a personalización extrema, menús con identidad cultural, sostenibilidad y experiencias inmersivas. El catering corporativo lidera el crecimiento frente al social.

Customer profile

El cliente de catering en Madrid se divide en dos grandes perfiles: el corporativo (empresas que organizan eventos, presentaciones y teambuildings) y el social (bodas, comuniones, fiestas privadas). Ambos son cada vez más exigentes: quieren personalización, calidad fotogénica y experiencias que sorprendan.

  • Complex logistics: transportation, setup, service at changing locations
