Abstract

Introduction

Verdict Research: French retailing is entering a new phase. Due to recent debates about purchasing power, the liberalisation of the regulatory background has become a distinct possibility, presenting new opportunities for retailers. Compared to other countries in the EU such as the UK, Germany and Spain, the long term outlook for retailing in France looks relatively healthy.

Scope

  • This report provides accurate insights into key trends, future developments and discusses the strategies of the main operators in the market.
  • Proprietary data on market value, specialists sales and growth. 2002-2007 data for six different retail sectors and overall value data for France.
  • Detailed sector analysis for grocery, DIY, electricals, furniture, clothing (including department stores) and out-of-town retailing is provided.
  • Market shares for leading retailings in each sector and insightfuil analysis into their operating strategies.

Report Highlights

  • Hypermarkets in France are struggling. Despite the country being the birthplace of the hypermarche, the format has hit the growth buffers. This is attributable to a combination of three key factors, the regulatory background, discounter growth and a lack of focus.
  • As locational strategy is highly restricted due to the Loi Raffarin, food and non food players test untried solutions. Hand in hand with new locational strategies comes new format development. Store brand simplification is another key theme and internet services get an overhaul.
  • French grocers’ power over the supply chain has been curtailed as a result of the Galland law. As a result of limited price competition we are likely to see further strong growth of private label lines in retailers’ ranges, further service provision development, new advertising opportunities and a focus on innovative niche ranges and non-food.
