FOOD & BEVERAGE ROMANIA MARKET REPORT 2019

The restaurants and cafes sector (Food & Beverage) in Romania has been constantly growing during the last few years as a result of a robust increase in wages and purchasing power and due to the larger number of foreigners that visit Romania for business or leisure. There is an increasingly fierce competition of concepts and operators seek to attract their customers through design and a memorable dining experience.

Cushman & Wakefield Echinox has analyzed the evolution and trends of the industry in the “Food and Beverage: Romania Market Report”, dividing the sector into six distinct segments: fast food, coffee shops, pastries, resto-clubs, fast casual and fine dining.
