Penetration is driven by focus, not shelf size.

Masoutis records the market's highest own-brand penetration at 13.1% - despite not having the largest digital shelf. My Market carries the most SKUs but sits below the category average in penetration terms.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF OWN BRAND

Mapping Private Label Across Greek Grocery Retail

Most private label analysis in Greece focuses on price positioning and margin. This report takes a different view - mapping the structural architecture of own-brand across six major retailers: category penetration, SKU distribution, and portfolio strategy. 55,931 SKUs analysed.

The report covers all six retailers in full - retailer by retailer, category by category - and closes with what the structural picture means for where the Greek market goes next.

The premium tier is structurally absent.

The market shows two confirmed quality signals - value and standard - but premium private label is missing entirely. Every retailer names brands without signalling tier. Naming alone cannot confirm positioning.

One retailer has zero white space in strong categories.

AB Vassilopoulos records 53.5% penetration in Convenience & Deli - the highest category-level cell in the dataset - and is the only retailer with no gaps in its strongest categories.

Three categories signal where the next wave of private label development is coming.

Yoghurt, Soups & Broths, and Crisps & Chips show strong NPD opportunity - categories where private label has already won in mature European markets.

What this report found
