The French grocery delivery market has been steadily growing in recent years, with a variety of factors contributing to its development.
Customer preferences: French consumers are increasingly looking for convenience and time-saving options when it comes to grocery shopping. This has led to a rise in demand for online grocery delivery services, as customers seek to avoid the hassle of physically visiting a store. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this trend, as more consumers opt for home delivery to reduce their exposure to the virus.
Trends in the market: One notable trend in the French grocery delivery market is the rise of specialized delivery services. Rather than ordering from traditional supermarkets, many consumers are now turning to niche providers that offer specific products, such as organic produce or artisanal goods. This trend is driven by a desire for higher-quality products and a more personalized shopping experience.Another trend in the market is the increasing use of technology to enhance the delivery experience. Many providers are investing in sophisticated logistics systems and mobile apps to streamline the ordering and delivery process. This has led to faster delivery times and more accurate order fulfillment, which in turn has helped to boost customer satisfaction.
Local special circumstances: The French grocery delivery market is heavily influenced by local cultural and economic factors. For example, the country's strong tradition of small, independent shops has led to the development of a fragmented grocery market, with many small businesses competing for customers. This has created challenges for large-scale grocery delivery providers, who must navigate a complex web of local regulations and customs.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The French grocery delivery market is also shaped by broader macroeconomic trends. For example, the country's high population density and urbanization rate have made home delivery a more practical option than in many other countries. Additionally, the French government has taken steps to support the development of the e-commerce sector, which has helped to create a favorable environment for grocery delivery providers.
Data coverage:
The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) and represent what consumers pay for these products and services. The user metrics show the number of customers who have made at least one online purchase within the past 12 months.Modeling approach / Market size:
Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on predefined factors for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies, third-party studies and reports, as well as survey results from our primary research (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, GDP per capita, and internet connection speed. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.Forecasts:
In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing. The main drivers are internet users, urban population, usage of key players, and attitudes toward online services.Additional notes:
The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. GCS data is reweighted for representativeness.
