The private label is in decline since 2-3 years due to the gap reduction between the private labels and the national brands (28% of the offer). The reasons of the decline are mainly :
- Less promotions on private label than on national brands
- Structural gap reduction between the national brand and the private label prices.
- Less innovation on private label than on national brands.
So, the supermarkets put in place new strategies :
- Going on niche sectors : « saveur d’ailleurs » @ Casino => Sashimis and Yakitoris - « Les creations » @ Intermarché => Premium - « Bon app’ envie du jour » @ Carrefour => Snacking
- PREMIUM private label +1,7% and ORGANIC private label +5,5%
- Having a perfect quality
- Telling a story to the consumers
