Direct peers

• Alnatura: Germany's largest dedicated organic food manufacturer and retailer. Alnatura operates a comparable 100% Bio portfolio across cereals, spreads, drinks, and convenience foods distributed through both own retail stores and mainstream German supermarkets, making it the closest like-for-like competitor to Allos Hof-Manufaktur.
• Rapunzel Naturkost: German organic food manufacturer specializing in 100% Bio cereals, spreads, nut butters, and dried fruits with a comparable farmer-cooperative sourcing model. Rapunzel competes directly with Allos's Allos-brand muesli, spread, and peanut-butter product lines in German natural food retail.
• Rügenwalder Mühle: German family-owned food manufacturer that pivoted from meat products to plant-based meat alternatives. Rügenwalder competes directly with Allos's meat-alternative and protein product lines in mainstream German retail, with comparable scale and similar mid-tier organic/vegetarian positioning.
• Followfood: German organic food brand focused on sustainable, traceable supply chains across frozen meals, fish alternatives, and convenience products. Followfood overlaps with Allos's Little Lunch convenience soups and broader organic positioning in German mainstream retail.
• LikeMeat: German plant-based meat alternative brand (formerly independent, now part of the PHW Group). LikeMeat directly competes with Allos's plant-based protein and meat alternative product lines in German food retail.
• Berief Food: German organic plant-based drinks manufacturer specializing in oat, soy, and specialty grain-based dairy alternatives. Berief directly competes with Allos's plant-based drinks portfolio in German organic and natural food retail channels.

Broad incumbents

• Oatly: Swedish-origin global leader in oat-based dairy alternatives, with deep German retail penetration. While Oatly's focus is narrow (oat drinks) versus Allos's broader portfolio, it competes head-on in the plant-based drinks segment where Allos's Ohne Muhhh line is positioned.
• Alpro (Danone): European plant-based dairy alternatives brand owned by Danone, offering a broad portfolio of soy, oat, almond, and yogurt alternatives. Alpro competes with Allos's plant-based drinks at the mass-market premium tier with significantly larger marketing and distribution scale.
• Garden Gourmet (Nestlé): Nestlé's European plant-based meat alternatives brand offering burgers, schnitzels, and ready meals. Garden Gourmet competes with Allos's plant-based product lines in mainstream German retail with Nestlé's global scale and trade-spend advantage.

Regional players

• Vivera: Dutch plant-based meat alternatives manufacturer (owned by JBS) with strong Benelux and growing German retail presence. Vivera competes in similar plant-based meat alternative categories to Allos but is primarily focused on the Dutch/German border region rather than pan-German distribution.
