Aldi, Géant The Strongest Performers In France In September: Kantar Worldpanel

Discounter Aldi and Groupe Casino's Géant banner (+6.8%) were the strongest performers in the French grocery market in September, according to the latest market share figures from Kantar Worldpanel.

Aldi posted 8.8% sales growth in the period, to sit on 2.4% market share (a 20-basis-point increase) in the period from 10 September to 7 October, while Géant posted 6.8% sales growth, to sit on a market share of 2.8% (a ten-basis-point gain).

Elsewhere, Intermarché, which posted a 20-basis-point gain, to sit on 15% market share, benefitted from increased investment in its hyper, super and drive channels, where the average customer basket rose by 1.5%, according to Kantar Worldpanel.

Système U gained ten basis points, to record 10.5% market share in the period, while Carrefour saw flat growth, recording a market share of 20.6%. Carrefour benefitted from the stabilisation of its Carrefour Market channel, as well as receiving a 'significant contribution' from its Drive business.

Discounter Lidl put in a good performance, recording a 20-basis-point gain, to sit on 5.4% market share, while L. Delhaize was stable, at 3.1%.
