Lidl The Best Performing Retailer In France In July/August Period: Kantar

Lidl was the best performing retailer in France in the period from 11 July to 7 August, new data from Kantar has shown, with the discounter reporting a 0.3 percentage point increase in market share in the period.

Achieving a market share of 7.6% for the period, Lidl has seen an increase in customer appreciation (+2 percentage points) as well as price attractiveness (+1 percentage point), Kantar's data showed.

Market leader E. Leclerc reported a 0.2 increase in percentage points in P8, to stand on 22.5% market share, while Carrefour has continued its positive form of late, seeing its market share rise 0.2 percentage points to 20.2%.

Carrefour's positive performance was driven largely by its Carrefour Proximité and Carrefour Market banners, Kantar noted.

Consumer Spend

Across the board, spending was up 7.1% during the period, with this growth largely driven by increased frequency of purchase (+11%). This offset a drop in expenditure per visit, which was down 4.1%.
