HoReCa & Foodservice Market - Latvia

مقدمة

The Latvian food and beverage service industry recorded a production value of approximately EUR 995 million in 2023 according to Eurostat, up from around EUR 573 million in 2021 — a rise of more than EUR 420 million in two years. Few European markets of comparable size have moved that fast, and the growth has pulled in imported supply rather than displacing it, because domestic production cannot cover the range that operators now expect. On the supply side, Bidfood Latvia is the leading dedicated HoReCa foodservice distributor, part of the international Bidcorp group and serving well over a thousand outlets, alongside operators such as Sanitex and PROMO Food Service that supply catering and institutional kitchens. For a foreign supplier the decision is which of these routes matches the product and the volume it can sustain. This study sets out market size and structure, profiles the distributors and cash & carry operators, explains the access requirements for suppliers from the EU, from non-EU Europe and from outside Europe, and provides a directory of Latvian importers and foodservice distributors.
