Report Highlights
Grocery shopping in Europe, North America and indeed around the world is
changing in two main ways. Firstly, shoppers' attitudes towards the different
elements of the retail offer are shifting. And secondly, these changing
attitudes are encouraging the development of new forms of retail channel which
shoppers are using in new and different ways
With a 15% share of French grocery retailing and more than 4,000 outlets by
2007, discounter store share of value sales has grown by 50% over 2002-07,
while the number of outlets has almost doubled. More than two-thirds of the
French public are now customers of one of the discounters, a number that has
also significantly increased
The paradox balance between offering range variety and simplifying the
shopping experience is an important issue for retailers to resolve.
Manufacturers and retailers therefore need to find the "choice sweet spot" by
editing the choices for their targeted customer while manipulating the number
of choices and then assessing customer reaction
