Challenging economic conditions and new legislation weigh on performance
Consumer foodservice in Slovakia faced a difficult year in 2025, as new legislative challenges, less favourable weather conditions compared with 2024, and more cautious consumer spending negatively affected the market. Rising costs meant that operators increasingly relied on promotional activities, including social events and marketing campaigns, to help bolster weakening sales. This placed pressure on many local entrepreneurs who were still slowly recovering from the aftermath of the pandemic, with limited financial reserves restricting both investment and spending on marketing activities.
