Conclusion & Recommendations

Week 2026-W20 in Romania remained hot for CONSERVE SI FELURI DE MANCARE GATITE, with promo pressure rising versus last week and discount intensity becoming the main market story. KAUFLAND led promotional pressure, while SCANDIA FOOD SRL held the visibility lead in a fragmented competitive landscape with low concentration. Retailer brands (MDD) expanded their promotional presence and visibility share, but national brands still dominated overall activity and visibility. For MANDY FOODS, the environment signals stronger competition on shelf and in promotion, alongside a stable pricing backdrop and several visibility and price anomalies that may create short-term openings.
💡 Increase promotional presence in the most active retailers, with priority on KAUFLAND and other high-pressure banners.
💡 Defend visibility through sharper in-store execution and targeted visibility spikes around key SKUs / Items.
💡 Use selective discounting to protect price perception while responding to the market’s higher discount intensity.
MANDY FOODS should act quickly to secure share of voice before the current promotional wave intensifies further.
