According to Tiberiu Danetiu, Marketing Director at Auchan Romania, 2022 was a year of developments on the retail market, with new players emerging, especially in the quick commerce segment, which will lead to even stronger competition. Growth and expansion is expected as well, particularly in the proximity, online, and express delivery services segments.

“At the same time, it will be a difficult year, with quite a lot of turbulence, given the inflationary context which has a direct impact on Romanians’ purchasing power, and that overlaps with the health crisis we have been experiencing for two years now. Prevention measures are still limiting people’s access to shopping centres, severely affecting retailers in department stores, where most local producers are listed,” Danetiu notes. As for the company’s plans for 2022, he says that it will continue development on the proximity segment, both through its nationwide partnership with OMV Petrom as well as through a new large supermarket format. “In addition, we will take our commercial project to a new level to better adapt to local premises and to the needs and expectations of our customers. We’ll also expand the company’s digital transformation, as well as continue to simplify the buying process both online and in-store, to create a great customer experience.”

Tiberiu Danetiu holds a PhD in economics and has 19 years of experience in Marketing. He participated in the creation and development of the Auchan network in Romania, which currently has more than 270 stores, of which more than 200 in Petrom stations, in the introduction of the generalized discount concept on the Romanian market, in the context of the widest range of products, as well as in the setting up of Auchan’s ecommerce & digital, from 2015 to 2019, working as Innovation Director.
