Overview of the German Private Label Food and Drink Market

Rising prices and economic uncertainty are driving consumers towards private labels, as they allow them to maintain their desired lifestyle and quality while managing their finances. In response, retailers are expanding their private label offering to cater to changing preferences.

  • What is the share of private label in Germany? While Edeka Group hold the majority of market shares in food retailing in Germany, continued investment in improving the quality and differentiation of private label products will continue to pay off for retailers and will result in private labels gaining further market share.

The Food and Drink Industry in Germany: What Consumers Want and Why

  • Private Label Food and Drink Market Research: 90% of Germans purchase own-label food and non-alcoholic drinks, thus illustrating the entrenched role of private label products in German consumers’ shopping habits.
  • Private Label Food and Drink Market Opportunities: Consumer interest in private label products is bound to increase further with 44% of Germans expecting to buy more own-label food and drink due to rising prices. The ongoing cost-of-living crisis presents an opportunity for premium own-label products to gain market share from their branded counterparts, as branded products struggle to convey their elevated value over private label offerings.

The Future of Private Label Food and Drink

  • Private labels are well positioned to appeal to a new generation of shoppers who aim to live more sustainably without breaking the bank. Retailers will drive this development with more investment in targeted marketing aimed at younger generations.

Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.

Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.

Ngozi Ngonadi-Nkwoji, Senior Marketing Manager, Amazon

Mintel is really good for getting a handle on a particular category quickly. If we are working on a new business pitch in an area we don’t have much experience in, it’s a brilliant way to get up to speed with what’s going on, what’s changing and what the key trends are in any category.

It’s very rare now that anyone will plough through a 200-page report – that’s why the summaries are really useful. We know they are backed up by a lot of detail, so if you need to go into something in more depth you know the information will be all there for you.

Pauline Robson, Managing Partner, Mediacom

We use Mintel Reports, mostly for financial services and ecommerce markets, plus a few retail and technology ones.

As a leading payments provider, we value additional insights into consumer behaviour, opinions and trends that are shaping the many different markets we operate in. Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.

We use Mintel to get a view on where a particular market is going, which can support us in product development and help us identify opportunities or indeed risks, it is a very useful barometer of a market’s potential.

 

Andrew Neeson, Market Intelligence Manager, VocaLink

When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.

They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.

So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.

Rebecca Green, Market Insight Manager, Wincanton

We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.

Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.
