Competitive Landscape
Carrefour and Delhaize Capture Share as Consumers Downtrade
Butter and spreads in Belgium remains moderately fragmented in 2026, with the largest player, Upfield Spreads Belgium NV, holding a 27% share, down from 29% in 2021. This steady decline over five years, coupled with the absence of any company exceeding a one-third share, reflects a gradual move towards less concentration.
