Abstract:
 Introduction

European Grocery Retailing 2007 analyses the grocery market across 25 EU member states. The report explores the dynamics, growth trends and drivers of the market and provides detailed strategic recommendations for retailers. It also profiles and assesses the prospects for Europe's 10 top grocers including Ahold, Aldi, Carrefour and Tesco.

Scope

Proprietary data on grocers sales and growth, space, store numbers and sales densities 2000 - 2006 for each of the 25 EU countries. Key data on total retail expenditure, selling space, store numbers, sales densities and per capita expenditure for each of the 25 EU countries. Extensive profiles of the major EU grocers including analysis of their retail propositions, store portfolios and international strategies. Detailed chapters on six core European DIY markets, with market shares of leading players, recent developments and future outlook.

Highlights

For many years hypermarkets appeared invincible with their operating scale offering them unrivalled advantages over smaller formats. But now this dominance is being challenged by the expansion of hard discounters that have developed a highly profitable business model which offers convenience, quality and market leading prices to shoppers Carrefour's European market leadership is under threat. It must reform its hypermarket business to keep its lead over second placed Tesco. The UK retailer's EU sales have reached 80% of Carrefour's, and given its current rapid growth and proven ability to deliver on ambitious expansion plans has potential to overtake Carrefour within 10 years. The European grocery market grew by 2.2% to EUR864bn in 2006, a slightly better performance than 2005. While the mature core markets of western Europe showed slowing growth rates of 2.0% in 2006, less developed eastern markets grew by 4.7%.
