COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Nestlé Romania SRL has built a dominant position in breakfast cereals
The dominant position of Nestlé Romania SRL is the result of robust marketing activity over many years to gain the attention of Romanian families. This multinational is an innovative player in breakfast cereals, being the first to launch free-from gluten cornflakes.
Pirifan Distribution gains share in hot cereals
Pirifan Distribution was the most dynamic player in 2025 amid the rapid growth of its brand Pirifan in the fastest growing hot cereals subcategory. The weak performance of the Solaris brand in hot cereals, which has lost share across the whole breakfast cereals category, has benefited Pirifan.
