Despite market challenges, Oetker Group’s sales rose to EUR 7.1 billion in 2025. Germany once again becomes the Oetker Group‘s primary investment focus, with more than EUR 250 million invested in the group’s home market. Investments in Germany over the past five years have now exceeded EUR 1 billion. One of last year’s highlights was the international scaling of the new premium frozen pizza Suprema. Oetker expects further sales growth in 2026 .
The company is satisfied with its annual results, underscoring the resilience of its broadly diversified portfolio, despite geopolitical tensions, U.S. tariff policies, and the associated burdens on the global economy.
Sales worth more than EUR 7.1 billion translate into an organic growth of 1.4%. Its Food and Beer and Nonalcoholic Beverages divisions made the largest contribution to the Oetker Group’s revenue.
Dr. Oetker and Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese together increased their sales to around EUR 4.3 billion, with notable dynamics in the frozen bread roll business of Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese. After initially expanding its pizza range in Germany in September 2024 with the new premium frozen pizza Suprema, featuring its three core varieties, Dr. Oetker focused in 2025 on the international scaling of Suprema. During the 2025 financial year, the range was rolled out in key additional DACH markets, the UK and Canada.
In 2026, alongside further geographic expansion, an attractive extension of the Suprema product range will also be a key priority.
Sales generated in Germany by the Oetker Group remained largely stable at around EUR 4 billion. The share of revenue generated outside Germany increased slightly to 44.2 percent of total revenue (previous year: 43.9 percent), amounting to approximately EUR 3.1 billion.
In 2025, the Oetker Group invested more than EUR 330 million in total. This once again places the level of investment at a very high level and underscores the company’s long-term orientation. Germany continues to be the Oetker Group’s primary investment focus. More than EUR 250 million was invested in the home market in 2025. Investments were concentrated on capacity expansion, the optimization of technical infrastructure as well as production and logistics processes, and on sustainability and digitalization projects.
With this high level of investment, the Oetker Group has invested more than EUR 1 billion in Germany over the past five years. Despite challenging conditions, the Group Management sees this as a clear and long-term commitment to its home market. This is also reflected in the investment in the extensive renovation of the more than 150-year-old main building of the Brenners Park Hotel and its successful reopening in autumn 2025.
In 2025, the Oetker Group employed a total of 18,865 people in Germany (previous year: 18,905) and 9,873 employees abroad (previous year: 9,808). The number of employees, expressed in full-time equivalents, thus remained stable at a high level, with a global total of 28,738 in the reporting year.
Outlook for the 2026 financial year
The Oetker Group aims to continue growing in 2026. Sales planning is based in particular on organic growth. Capital expenditures in 2026 are expected to remain at a similarly high level as in 2025 and are part of a multi-year program to strengthen innovation capabilities, digital expertise, and sustainability initiatives.
