COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Ferrero Magyarország maintains leadership through brand power and expansion
Ferrero Magyarország Kft remained the leading player in sweet spreads in 2025, anchored by Nutella’s unmatched brand strength and multi-channel presence. Continuous product innovation – including the debut of Nutella Vegán, limited-edition packaging, and spin-off launches such as Nutella ice cream, croissants, and muffins – helped the brand expand beyond the spreads aisle.
Private label and functional spreads drive competitive dynamism
Private label brands were the most dynamic overall in 2025, supported by robust development at Lidl, Aldi and Spar. Lidl’s Mister Choc Protein Cream, blending indulgence with functional benefits, resonated strongly with budget-conscious yet health-aware consumers.
Honey specialists and local producers adapt to new consumer values
Domestic honey producers adjusted to shifting market conditions by diversifying offerings and enhancing transparency. Emphasis on single-origin honeys, organic certification and limited-edition small batches positioned them well in premium segments.
