Population is the potential consumer base, not product-specific demand. CEE includes Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. The regional total uses Eurostat’s resident-population definition; the Poland card uses the separate GUS national definition. FMCG and pharmacy sales overlap and must not be added.
