PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Small local grocers will need to adapt to market shifts
During the forecast period, economic improvements are expected to ease operational pressures on small local grocers in France, potentially enhancing their performance through stabilising costs and improving consumer spending power. However, structural shifts within the sector will persist, driven by the growing influence of cooperative models, which provide independent retailers with stronger purchasing power and operational support, as well as the continued expansion of chained convenience stores offering competitive pricing and streamlined logistics.
Organic food retailers will struggle to retain share of local plates
Organic food retailers in France continue to struggle, with the share of organic products on local plates remaining below the EU average. During the COVID-19 crisis, organic products served as a psychological refuge, with many consumers viewing them as a natural safeguard against health risks.
Strategic adaptations will be essential for growth
Facing declining demand, organic retailers must adopt innovative strategies to drive growth. One promising opportunity lies in bulk purchasing - a domain where organic specialists already excel and can further leverage their expertise.

DISCLAIMER
Small Local Grocers
Small local grocers are mostly independent retail outlets (with a selling space of under 400 square metres), kiosks, market stalls or street vendors, owned by families and/or run on an individual basis, and with a primary focus on selling food/beverages/tobacco and other groceries. Small local grocers also includes ethnic grocery stores that specialize in foreign brands and food types, health food stores, confectioners/newsagents/tobacconists (CTNs), food & drink souvenir stores, legally registered mobile shops that are run out of a truck, and regional specialty stores. Retail sales from farmers markets, farms, vineyards, or similar producers are also included in small local grocers. Outlets located within wet markets in Southeast Asia (often located in government-owned multi-story buildings) should be counted as separate outlets.
