COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Pölöskei and Bolero set the tone in liquid and powder segments
Pölöskei Kereskedoház Kft, with its flagship Pölöskei brand, remained the leading player in liquid concentrates in 2025. Its competitive edge stems from road distribution across all major modern grocery channels and a portfolio that balances heritage and innovation.

Szobi Italgyártó Kft was the most dynamic company in 2025, thanks to its strategic expansion into powder concentrates. Already recognised for its presence in liquid concentrates and juices, Szobi leveraged its existing brand equity and consumer familiarity to gain traction quickly in the new segment.
