New Market Report Now Available: Grocery Retailers in Belgium

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Wed Jun 18 2014


2013 saw the continuous development of trends seen in 2012: the strength of the authenticity trend favoured brands such as Delhaize Group SA, which strongly marketed its own organic labels. Value-for-money represented a driving force in the category, favouring retailers such as Lidl Belgie GmbH & Co KG, Etn Franz Colruyt NV and Aldi Group. Overall, brand reputation and consumer-friendly attitude seem to be very interlinked: this to some extent explains the strong performance of Delhaize Group SA, Lidl Belgie GmbH & Co KG and Etn Franz Colruyt. Overall, it is also to be noted that the positive performance in terms of value sales is partly due to inflation, as both Delhaize Group SA and Etn Franz Colruyt NV mention in their mid-year reports.

Competitive Landscape

The modern grocery landscape is quite concentrated, with the three top players (Etn Franz Colruyt NV, Delhaize Group SA and Carrefour Belgium SA/NV) accounting for a 59% value share at the end of the review period.

Industry Prospects

The resurgence of hypermarkets is set to last in the medium term, with a decline expected in the longer term. Better economic conditions, both in terms of GDP, employment and disposable income, will allow consumers to spend more freely and partly subvert the value-for-money trend. The emergence of Internet retailing will compete fiercely with store-based grocery retailers. In this sense, the category that will suffer the most from this competition is hypermarkets, while urban and proximity retailers are set to be less affected.
