The food & grocery retail market includes the retail sales of all food products, both packaged and unpackaged, as well as beverages (including retail sales of all alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages), tobacco, and household products.
The value of the French food and groceries market grew in 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, with increased demand driven by precautionary buying and a spending shift from foodservice channels.
The impact of COVID-19 on the food and grocery market during 2020 was evident through increased demand in supermarkets and other grocery retailers. In particular, the demand for food, as a basic necessity, was even stronger, with consumers’ fear of food shortages due to supply chain disruptions driving panic-buying in the first few weeks of the pandemic. Even throughout the rest of the year, demand remained high compared to previous years, with consumers precautionary buying more than what they need, stockpiling long shelf-life food and household products amid uncertainty and limited trips to stores.
Moreover, that growth in consumption is also attributable to a shift in consumers’ spending as a result of lockdown measures, with food and grocery retailers benefitting from the collapse of demand in foodservice establishments, which remained closed for the longest part of the year. In detail, consumers substituted consumption in on-trade channels such as restaurants, cafés, and catering providers with consumption in off-trade channels, replacing eating-out with grocery consumption at home. Overall, the French food and grocery retail market posted lower growth in 2020 compared to other markets.
