HoReCa & Foodservice Market - Czech Republic

مقدمة

The Czech consumer foodservice market — restaurants, hotels, quick service and institutional catering — is estimated in the order of USD 11–13 billion a year, having returned to growth after the pandemic. It is a market in which a single well-chosen partner can carry a product a long way, because the top of the distribution channel is unusually concentrated. Bidfood Czech Republic is the reference distributor. Part of Bidcorp, the world's second-largest foodservice group after Sysco, it carries around 5,000 SKUs, operates its own delivery network and runs Bidfood Expo, the largest professional gastronomy event in Czechia and Slovakia — which makes it a strategic contact well beyond its order book. Alongside it, MAKRO (Metro Group) covers the cash & carry side. This study sets out market size and structure, profiles the broadline distributors, cash & carry operators and category specialists, explains the access requirements for suppliers from the EU, from non-EU Europe and from outside Europe, and provides a directory of Czech importers and foodservice distributors.
