How Concentrated Is the HoReCa Market?
The market is fragmented, with the top 10 players accounting for 5% of total market revenue in 2024. This level of fragmentation reflects the highly diverse and localized nature of the HoReCa sector, low barriers to entry, and the prevalence of small and independent operators catering to regional tastes and niche segments.
