Retail market comments
'Slow increase in the number of new hypermarket and supermarket openings since 2002 by the top ten grocery retailers.'

'Biggest growth in the past five years has been from hard/soft discounters. Between 2003 and 2007, IGD estimates a 43.7% increase in the number of discount stores in operation by the top 10 French retailers.'

'Over the last five years (2003 – 2007) the number of forecourt/convenience stores in operation by the top ten has increased by 29.2%.'

'No store format is in decline in France. However, the rate of growth is slowing for certain store formats i.e. supermarkets.'
