Study on private label brands

Posted on by superadmin

Consumption of private labels at the Greek supermarkets has skyrocketed at 94% in 2021 according to the latest study conducted by Focus Bari via the Focus Bari | YouGov private online panel. The market of private labels seems to have grown tremendously within the last twenty years, comparing results of three national studies : Το 2000, ο ένας στους δύο Έλληνες καταναλωτές (50%) αγόραζαν τακτικά/συστηματικά τουλάχιστον ένα είδος σε private label.

  • In 2000, one in two Greeks (50%) regularly purchased at least one product category of private labels.
  • This proportion is found at 77% in the study of 2010, and has reached 94% in the July 2021 study.
  • What also seems impressively increased is the variety of different product categories that consumers prefer to buy in private labels : with toilet paper and napkins at the top, followed by detergents and cleaners, around 40 different product categories are purchased in private labels at the Greek supermarkets.
  • Interestingly, both in the 2010 and the 2021 studies, the majority of consumers perceive private labels as “value for money products”, yet…
  • If a branded product is found at an offer or a price approaching that of the private label, the majority of consumers tend to prefer the branded one.

Key Learning : brands hold their power, provided they approach consumers with empathy in view of the squeezed economic & pandemic conditions

The professional and financial status of Greeks one year after the start of the pandemic

Posted on by superadmin

According to the latest Focus Bari survey, twelve months after the start of the pandemic, a considerable proportion of Greeks report that their professional and financial status is currently worse. More specifically:

  • 30% of the Greek population state that one year after the pandemic their professional status is worse, while only one out of ten (10%) are found to have a better professional position today versus twelve months ago
  • For those whose profession situation has worsened, the main reasons are that their business is under-operating for long periods of time, freelancers report that their business turnover has dropped down, while employees state that they have been suspended from work, work very little, or have been completely fired, because their employers’ operation remains suspended, or closed down completely.
  • On the other hand, those who report a better professional status nowadays, have either created new job opportunities, or have acquired new skills, or have more time available to work due to remote working.
  • Furthermore, 36% of Greeks report their financial status to be worse than twelve months ago, while only 9% say their financial situation is currently better compared to a year ago.
  • The main reasons for those who state a worse financial status are that their income has decreased (75%), that they have to support other family members who have been hit financially by the pandemic, or that they had to face unexpected expenses.
  • Finally, for the limited proportion of Greeks who report better financials today versus a year ago, the main reason is that they have cut down on their expenses, as well as the fact that they created new income sources, or they exploited sources they already had.
