Drip filter coffee machines still have the highest market share (55%). Fully automatic
coffee machines and espresso portioned machines have a market share of 43% and
an important growth of 6.9%.
There is a considerable trend towards fully automatic machines (+5.5% in 2007
compared to 2006 ) and an extremely strong trend towards espresso portioned
machines (+43.1%), while low-comfort machines are losing market share (machines
with piston lever, machines with filter-coffee quality such as portioned machines for
pads and combi machines).
The following trends have been estimated for capsule und fully automatic machines:
Single-serve coffee machines for capsules: They are expected to have strong
growth (12% per year) in the coming 3-5 years and are expected to continue to
grow at a moderate pace in the longer term.
Fully automatic coffee machines: Sales are expected to grow in coming years,
though less dramatically than capsule machines.
