What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
The weak state of the French economy has led consumers to review their consumption of most CPG products, particularly non-essential ones like Confectionery. Since the global financial crisis of 2008-2009 the retail market has been characterized by an increased amount of discount and own-brand products. However, as consumer confidence increases proportionally to economic recovery, consumer trends will be directly affected.

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Consumers' uptake of products and the influence of consumer trends are fundamental causes of change in markets - making knowing what these trends are and the extent of their influence crucial.The survey-based data provided in this report examines over 20 consumer trends that affect the market and examines the share of sales across 26 consumer groups - providing through the data a detailed insight into exactly who the consumer is and just how much impact the latest consumer trends are having.

What makes this report unique and essential to read?
The data provided is unique in the market as it tracks consumer behavior through to its actual value impact on a product market. This provides readers with a unique data analysis of the market allowing marketing tactics and strategy to be updated in line with the very latest consumer behaviors.

Key Highlights

Older Consumers are the most valuable age group, with a 31% share of the Confectionery market by value. However, their consumption is proportionate to the size of the age group, which accounts for 29% of the population. The fact no age group consumes disproportionately means that marketers need to target a range of differentiated products at different age groups in order to maximize their revenues.

The two largest retailers in France dominate the Confectionery market with a combined share of 54% of the market by volume. This gives these retailers a strong bargaining power with their suppliers.

Private label penetration is low in the Confectionery market in France, highest in the Chocolate category where 10% of the volume of Chocolate products distributed is private label. This is partially a result of the very strong marketing presence of brands in a highly competitive market.
