La Marca del Distributore cresce e conquista il mercato. I dati Circana

🏦 In Europe, Private Labels (MDD) hold nearly 40% market share in the FMCG sector. Despite inflation, MDD sales rose by 9.4% in value and 2.2% in volume by March 2024 in key European markets: France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and the UK. Spain (48%), Germany (43%), and the Netherlands (42%) lead in MDD penetration. Key growth sectors include Baby Food (+2.3%) and Non-Food Pet Products (+2.2%). In contrast, Industrial Brands' promotional strategies in the UK, with 43% of sales on offer, lag behind MDD. A 17% decline in new product launches signals a potential 'innovation desert' in FMCG. Circana anticipates a cautiously optimistic outlook for FMCG in the Euro area, with GDP growth projected at +0.4% annually by 2025.
