Full-Cup Recovery: Spain’s HoReCa Coffee Market Stirs Forward

The coffee industry in the HoReCa channel in Spain continues its sustained growth trend, registering a +2.0% increase in sales volume in 2025, reaching 24,286 tons, driven mainly by the continued recovery and expansion of tourism, as well as the strengthening of out-of-home consumption, according to IC Market Tracking – Coffee in the HoReCa sector in Spain by Interconnection Consulting.

This evolution allows the segment to recover pre-pandemic levels and consolidate the channel’s recovery in the country. Growth in Spain is above the European average, which reached +1.4% in 2025, demonstrating the strong momentum of the Spanish market. “After the profound impact of COVID-19, the years following 2020 were characterized by a rebound associated with a gradual return to normality; 2025 confirms a period of sustained stabilization that maintains an upward trend,” says Aritz Blanco, author of the study.

In terms of products, coffee beans clearly dominate the market, accounting for 93.4% of sales in the HoReCa channel, driven by the modernization of professional equipment and growing consumer demand for quality.

In terms of channel structure, coffee shops continue to be the main point of consumption with 44.5% of the market, followed by restaurants and hotels, while bakeries and pastry shops, despite their smaller presence, show growing potential for expansion and are gradually gaining relevance in the competitive landscape.

The market is composed of both national and international corporations. Together, the 10 most relevant companies account for a significant share of the total HoReCa channel volume, including Cafento, Cafés Baqué, Cafés Candelas, Cafés Novell, Cafés Oquendo, illycaffè, Jacobs Douwe Egberts, Lavazza, Pascual Profesional and Templo Cafés.

The outlook for the future is that the Spanish market will maintain its upward trend, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.8% in the period 2025-2029.
