Competitive Landscape
Migros and Coop Solidify Lead as Private Label Drives Fragmentation
Cheese in Switzerland is characterised by a highly fragmented structure, with private label retaining the largest value share in 2026 due to the extensive own-brand cheese ranges offered by Migros Genossenschaftsbund eG and Coop Genossenschaft. Migros is predicted to hold a 16% share, remaining the clear leader, while Coop is predicted to secure 6%.
