European Coffee Market Sales Increase in 2016
Preliminary results on the European coffee markets show that the consumption in EU28 increased by 6.4% in quantity in the twelve months ending November 2016.
The CoffeeBi analysis highlights that this result is due to the overall increase in coffee sales in the second part of 2016. In the first six months, consumption in EU28 stood at +1% (compared to 1st semester 2015).
This positive change involved some big European countries in Western Europe such as Germany (+9.7%), and Italy (+10.7). The recovery of the coffee consumption in the German market started only in the second semester of 2016. Italy also increased its coffee sales in the first semester (+7.8%).
