Illycaffè ended 2025 with revenues of 700 million euros, a record high and a 12% rise over the previous year. Growth was driven by volume increases in all major markets, particularly in the two strategic countries Italy and the United States, followed by additional expansion in the European clusters. "We have learned to navigate the stormy sea: four years ago, revenues were at 500 million - said CEO Cristina Scocchia - In between there are the consequences of the pandemic, the return of protectionism and duties, the soaring energy and transport costs, as well as the raw material, green coffee”. And now, the conflict in Iran: "We do not have ships transiting through Hormuz, as was the case in Suez. However, we are already observing that the cost of shipping a container has increased by $300-400 dollars compared to before the attack. In addition, the price of fertilizers such as urea, which are essential for coffee cultivation, is on the rise. It is evident that production costs are destined to rise." 2025 was marked by an exceptional increase in the price of the raw material, with an average of 368 cents per pound, three times the historical average since 1972 and over 50% higher than in 2024. Illy is now aiming for international expansion and has announced significant investments in marketing and sustainable innovation. America continues to respond positively, particularly in the e-commerce industry, thanks to the cooperation with Amazon. The United States, a priority market in the Group's medium-term ambitions, increased by 20% until 2024.
