Economic Environment of East Europe
Europe is one of the wealthiest and largest regions in the world with home to 731.0 million people, about 11% of world’s population, in 48 different countries. The wealth of different European countries’ varies; however, being one among the most developed regions of the world, even the poorest country in Europe has GDP and living standards well above the poorest countries of other continents. Most European countries have GDP per capita exceeding the global average. In 2010, Europe had a GDP of 19.92 trillion USD, which was about one-third of the global economy and GDP per capita (PPP) of 18.14 trillion USD.
However, there are regional developmental variationswithin Europe, with North and East Europe being more stable and wealthy than the East Europe. With the fast growth of East European countries, the gap is reducing. Historically the growth of East European countries began with the introduction of industrialization between 1890-1900 and got intensified during the communist regime. After suffering contraction due to collapse of communist regime and introduction of free market economy in 1990s; the inclusion of ten previously communist European countries in the EU and access to the European Common Market which led the European firms to move jobs to East Europe again spurred Industrial growth and employment boom in the 21st century East Europe. Economic growth, establishment of European Regional Development Fund and high growth govt. commitment by European govt. has strengthened East European the financial sector.
From early 1990s up until the global crisis of 2008, the East European economy registered record growth on account of privatization, implementation of labour reforms and influx of foreign capital. However the global recession revealed many flaws in the economy model of East Europe such as very high consumption (about 80 percent of GDP during 2005-2008), high level of borrowings due to soft lending policies, savings lagging behind investments and crisis of FDI due to recession. Hence re-establishing the previous growth will require increasing investment, expanding high-value exports, raising productivity, reviving FDI, and increasing domestic savings.
Looking at the current landscape, the Eastern Europe economic outlook is varies among countries. As per IMF, the region will show decent economic growth except for Russia and Ukraine due to their conflict. In Russia, falling oil prices and extension of sanctions by the EU and US will limit the growth. The rest of East Europe will show positive growth mainly on account of increased domestic demand due to increasing real income, carefully increasing low interest rates as well as rising capita spending and exports growth. Thus, GDP is expected to show positive growth in east Europe except for Russia and Ukraine. High inflation is expected to fall in Russia and Ukraine while inflation will hit bottom in rest of the east Europe.

Further segmentation of the hot drink beverages category under the non-alcoholic drinks, provides for one of the most trendy and popular category among consumers i.e. Hot Coffee. Over the time, the global hot coffee market has shown robust growth in sales on account of changing consumer tastes and the coffee becoming more and more affordable to every class in the society. The same scenario has been prevalent in East Europe as well.
Eastern Europe experienced the initiation of prominent developments in Hot Coffee market in 1990s. The Big political changes in Eastern Europe along with the opening up of trade barriers, resulting into a free market, led to a fast-expanding coffee market due to a surge in coffee consumption. The increased consumption attracted Eastern Europe coffee producers helped by the fact that in 1990s the quality of coffee in Eastern Europe was inferior and heavy in Robustas and hence the consumers demanded higher quality Eastern European coffee. For e.g. after the opening of the market, Tchibo immediately entered the East European coffee market. Despite unfamiliar market conditions, Tchibo soon established a powerful market position.
Looking at the current landscape, the Hot Coffee market in the East Europe, is being greatly influenced by two key factors, firstly, changing consumer preferences on account of changing consumer tastes and health awareness and secondly, per unit price of coffee.

Hence price fluctuations are important. Also, the market is marked by fierce competition among various international and domestic coffee producers leading to price-war. To survive this competition, producers focus on increasing their volume through increasing consumer base by applying strategic marketing techniques. Regarding the distribution channel, supermarkets and grocery retailers play a major role making coffee accessible to every segment of the society.
Rising household income, increasing population, urbanisation and emergence of cafe-culture has largely contributed to robust growth performance of the hot coffee market. However the market has its own challenges such as aging of coffee trees, lack of government initiatives, adverse impact of climate change, price fluctuations and rising production cost.
