Private Label has changed its role.
It is no longer simply a commercial lever, but a structural component of the Italian food system, capable of influencing production, assortments, exports and industrial strategies.
It is from this awareness that the Private Label & Food Industry Observatory was created — the new publication developed by GDOData to provide a comprehensive, in-depth and cross-sector analysis of the market. A unique editorial project within the Italian landscape, designed to support retailers, food manufacturers, suppliers and FMCG op
erators in understanding the dynamics reshaping the industry.

A unique Observatory
The Observatory represents the first study in Italy capable of integrating into a single analysis:
- company financial and economic data;
- sector performance analysis;
- market sell-out data;
- direct insights collected from companies;
- consumer behavior analysis.
A multidimensional approach that goes beyond the traditional vertical interpretation of the market, offering a concrete view of the role now played by Private Label within the food industry.
Over 1,900 companies involved
At the core of the Observatory is an extensive proprietary survey carried out by GDOData through a questionnaire submitted to more than 1,000 companies operating in food production and processing.
The objective: to understand the real weight of Private Label within the business models of Italian companies.
The analysis explores:
