Grocery Retailing and Consumer Trends in France is the result of Canadean's extensive online consumer survey and industry research program. The report is data-driven and provides a uniquely deep and rich array of data analysis on the France grocery market. The unique benefits of this integrated consumer survey and market data methodology mean that the report not only provides detailed value and volume data, but also private label coverage and data on the key consumer trends affecting the market. NB: retailer data refers to off-trade drinks only, but total market, and drinks market, sizes include on-trade drinks sales.
Introduction and Landscape
Why was the report written?
Marketers in the French grocery market face changing consumption patterns as a result of demographic changes, uncertain economic conditions and evolving technology. This makes it essential to not only understand the current state of the market, but to also quantify the impact of consumer trends, providing a spotlight on what consumption decisions are being made and why.This report solves these problems by providing integrated survey-based data for Alcoholic Drinks, Beverages, Food, and Health & Beauty products which show value and volume retail sales data, relative brand and private label shares, retailer shares by product category (volume data), the value of different consumer groups, and quantifies the amount of the total market directly influenced consumer trends.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
The effects of a weak global economy and the following recovery have led consumers to closely examine their choice of retailer and products purchased. While country by country the effects have varied, no grocery retail market has been left totally untouched, creating a need to understand exactly who the end consumer audience is and what their main motivations are.
What makes this report unique and essential to read?
The report provides valuable, hard to get, consumer-survey based data (integrated with industry research) on the grocery market in France. It provides value and volume data for 146 product categories, Private Label penetration rates by category, and the value of the market directly influenced by Consumer Trends (which affects consumption choices).For two types of Private Label purchasers, trends affecting the reasons to purchase private labels are also shown.

Key Market Issues
The Alcoholic Drinks sector in the France is dominated by the top 3 retailers who hold more than 50% share. The Savoury Snacks market has the highest level of consolidation among retailers, while the Fragrances market has the lowest.
Private labels have a reasonably decent share in the total Food markets accounting for 14% of the volume share. Conversely, in the Alcoholic drinks markets branded products leave very little scope for private labels. Private labels are squeezing the weaker brands in the categories like juices, dough products, pre-packed sandwiches, meat, fish & seafood and chilled noodles.
According to survey results, both Regular and Occasional Private label consumers quoted that the most important driving factors influencing their consumption patterns are 'Indulgence' and 'Better Value for Money'. This implies that price is not the only factor driving sales of private labels.
Key Highlights

Consumers in the 'Better Off' wealth category contribute more than 40% share by value to retailers' sales. An age-wise analysis reveals that Older Consumers have 34% share by value of total Grocery Retail sales.
The most important factor affecting Grocery Retail sales is 'Indulgence', which influences more than 90% of the total sales.
