The EVA is pleased to announce the publication of its latest Vending & Office Coffee Service (OCS) Market Report, covering data up to the end of 2025.

There are a number of key takeaways from the statistics this year, namely that market revenue continues to grow (+5.6% vs 2024), and is now significantly higher that pre-covid levels, and a very positive step. The number of machines in the field is however stagnant across Europe (-0.3% vs 2024). The vends themselves on the other hand have stalled; not only are they well below 2019 levels but also a year-on-year comparison of products dispensed shows a now slight decrease (-0.9%).

With regards to coffee trends, OCS is clearly driving the hot beverage market with these machines now making up 56% of the hot drinks segment. Looking into some fieldbase trends more generally, we can see there is both an increased use of refurbished machines and by equipment supplied by manufacturers from Asia. Chinese manufacturers in particular are increasing market share in the table-top segment, adding further competitive pressure to an already rapidly evolving European equipment market.

While there are some variations seen at national level – for example Germany continues to see big revenue growth (+33% vs 2019), Italy on the other hand is losing revenue (-17% over the same period) but overall Italy continues as the European market with the most machines. A number of ‘Tier 2’ markets i.e. those sizable markets just outside the Top 6 countries, are growing well, such as Belgium, Sweden and Poland.

The new edition also marks the beginning of a new chapter for the EVA Market Report. Following ten years of successful cooperation with Martin Colston, the EVA has appointed Jakala as its new market research provider. Jakala brings extensive knowledge of the vending sector, notably through its experience in compiling the market report of the Italian Vending Association (CONFIDA). This combination of market research expertise and established familiarity with the industry provides a strong foundation for the continued development of the EVA report.

The much anticipated annual report is as always freely available for EVA members, while non-members can contact us today for the pricing options and full details of the content covered: vending@vending-europe.eu
