The at-home market, also called an off-trade market, covers all retail sales via super- and hypermarkets, convenience stores, or similar sales channels. The out-of-home market, also called an on-trade market, away-from-home market, or HORECA encompasses all sales to hotels, restaurants, catering, cafés, bars, and similar hospitality service establishments. Both the at-home and the out-of-home markets are valued at retail selling prices including all sales and consumption taxes.
