View industry report for Europe

Revenue in Europe’s food retailing industry is expected to slump at a compound annual rate of 7.7% to €100.8 billion in the five years through 2024. Growing competition from supermarkets is driving consumers away from the industry, as supermarkets offer much more competitively priced meat, fish, bread and fresh fruit and vegetables. The industry is susceptible to changes in household disposable income, which has been eroded throughout Europe over 2023 and 2024 as inflationary pressures plague consumers' pockets.
