The survey shows that Swedes are eating fewer sausages overall, but sausages are being consumed more frequently than in previous years. On average, Swedes eat 47 sausages per year, a decrease compared to 2023 and 2022, when the average was 49.

Women are eating sausages more frequently than before, with almost every other woman (49%) saying they eat sausages a couple of times a month, an increase from 46% in 2023.

Chorizo remains the most popular sausage at 43%, followed by the classic "Grill sausage" (Grillkorv) at 42%. A notable difference emerges in terms of gender preference, with men favoring Chorizo and women having a stronger affinity for Grill sausage.
