Main topics covered by the publication:

Did you know... 
Private label lines are now found in most product categories, like alcohol, clothing, home appliances and consumer electronics. They are also appearing in new categories.
A novelty on the market is venture brands, introduced by Tesco in 2011. They are high quality brands which in the future are to be offered not just in Tesco stores, but also by other, noncompetitive retailers.
More and more retail chains are now able to offer private labels in at least two price and quality segments, as well as the premium segment.
Delicatessen chains have recognised that it is key to develop private labels, until now reserved for discount stores and hypermarkets. Due to the profile of deli supermarkets, their private label range comprises mainly premium products.
With time, private labels are going to expand their share in the traditional trade. Consolidation processes on the wholesale market are likely to encourage it, as only relatively large wholesalers can afford to invest in private labels.
Żabka is the first convenience store chain in Poland to introduce private labels.

Extract from this report

  • Supermarkets develop their private label offer with increased intensity, and many – like deli supermarkets – are warming to the idea of expanding their portfolio in this direction.
  • The second largest growing format in 2010 was hypermarkets, systematically expanding its private label offer. However, the growths are not as high as in the previous years. Their current strategy is primarily to diversify the existing product range.
  • According to our estimations, Biedronka, a chain owned Jeronimo Martins, is the leader of the private label market in Poland. In 2010, the share of private labels in the company revenues reached 56%, which amounted to PLN 10.8bn.

Market commentary by expert

Each year the Polish market of private labels is experiencing further growth. In 2010, the economic slowdown was still perceptible, causing Polish consumers to choose retailer brands in an attempt to save money. The difficult current situation on the global commodity market may propel the expansion of private labels in Poland even more. Growing food prices are going to prompt consumers to shop where it is cheaper, and where the private label range is financially accessible.
