The European market
The European market has a value of 512 million euros at sell-in with an average growth of 4.0% in the last three years. The number of machines sold on the continent is 215 thousand units.
A large proportion of the market is concentrated in Western Europe (89% of value) particularly in the EU5 (Italy, France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) which represents 67% of the total.
The remainder includes Eastern Europe (9%) and other countries representing just 2% of the total market in value.
The HORECA market has grown over recent years, despite the difficulties in the European economy. Growth is mainly due to the opening of new coffee shops and coffee corners that require new coffee machines.
The development of the hospitality industry and foodservices has increased investment and boosted the machine market, particularly in Northern and Eastern Europe.
