In the period from January to April, it exceeded the level of the same period in 2023 by 1.8% in sales volume and 5.7% in value.

According to the latest Nielsen data, the value of the domestic retail coffee market (not including instant coffee) was HUF 75 billion between April 2023 and April 2024. In this period, manufacturers and distributors sold a total of 14.4 thousand tons of coffee beans, ground and capsules on the domestic market.
