The latest figures from Kantar Worldpanel show that Lidl continues its dynamic performance in the French market by gaining 30 basis points (bps) market share during the four-week period ending 17 May.
This gives the discounter an overall market share of 5.3%. Also performing strongly was Carrefour Market, with a 20bps gain to 7.6%, partly helped by the conversion of former DIA stores.
Carrefour hypermarkets, however, dropped 10bps, adding to the 30bps it lost last month. It now has an overall market share of 10.2%.
Casino was up 20bps, while Monoprix and Franprix and Auchan were all down 10bps. Independpents LeClerc, Intermarché and Système U all showed modest movement in the period.
Kantar Worldpanel reported that overall FMCGs sales in France declined by 0.2% during the period.
