The company says that during the height of the coronavirus pandemic in Hungary, the consumption practically stopped at about three-quarters of Coca‑Cola partners selling immediate consumption products.

According to the press release, the gravity of the situation is indicated by the fact that more than 8,200 catering establishments did not order a single bottle of soft drink during the two months of the restrictions period due to lack of guests.

As a result of weak demand, Coca-Colaʼs sales in the HoReCa sector fell by half compared to last year.
