DOLCE GUSTO, COFFEE IS NOT JUST BLACK

Dolce Gusto: nice performance in 2013

With a 36% increase in sales volume and 22% increase in value, Dolce Gusto has performed well given the highly competitive nature of the capsule coffee machine market in 2013. This performance is just as marked in emerging countries (Russia, Brazil, Argentina) as in the mature Western European countries.

Furthermore, Nestlé has invested heavily in communication and POS demonstrations in order to increase awareness of the advantages of the Dolce Gusto system.

 The figure of 10 million units sold since its launch in 2006 was reached in April 2013.
