  • The Endgame in European Grocery
    THE ENDGAME IN EUROPEAN GROCERY EXPECT HALF AS MANY LARGE GROCERS IN EUROPE BY 2025 THE ENDGAME IN EUROPEAN GROCERY EXPECT HALF AS MANY LARGE GROCERS IN EUROPE BY 2025 Against a weak economic backdrop, old growth models based on store expansion, national consolidation, and diversification are no longer delivering the like-for-likes board members and investors want to see. As well as a saturated marketplace, there is increasing competition from discounters and newer online retailers like AmazonFresh. In response, we believe that the European grocery market will begin consolidating internationally so that, by 2025, the total number of large grocers in Europe will have halved. Weak demand, a decline of traditional growth engines, and the aggressive growth of specialist competitors such as discounters (Exhibit 1) will continue to drive the next ten years’ of change in European grocery. As the pressure mounts, expect to see more headlines about price wars, stock value erosion, races to form buying alliances, and even the occasional market exit. With this in mind, we think there are four questions grocers should be considering today to ensure a successful future, listed below and explained in more detail in the rest of the article: How can we deliver a step change in our approach to cost? 1 Cost leadership is becoming a necessity. How can asset productivity be increased? 2 Only business models with high levels of asset productivity will survive. What are our options to grow internationally? 3 Scale matters – and international growth is one of the few ways to drive scale. What more could we be doing to hold on to and build 4 customer relationships? With new competitors on the scene, increasing the ‘stickiness’ of customers is crucial.

  • Global Vs. Local-The Hungarian Retail Wars
    Journal of Business and Retail Management Research (JBRMR) October 2015 Global Vs. Local-The Hungarian Retail Wars Charles S. Mayer Reza M. Bakhshandeh Central European University, Budapest, Hungary Key Words MNE’s, SME’s, Hungary, FMCG Retailing, Cooperatives, Rivalry Abstract In this paper we explore the impact of the ivasion of large global retailers into the Hungarian FMCG space. As well as giving the historical evolution of the market, we also show a recipe on how the local SME’s can cope with the foreign competition. “If you can’t beat them, at least emulate them well.” 1. Introduction Our research started with a casual observation. There seemed to be too many FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) stores in Hungary, compared to the population size, and the purchasing power. What was the reason for this proliferation, and what outcomes could be expected from it? Would the winners necessarily be the MNE’s, and the losers the local SME’S? These were the questions that focused our research for this paper. With the opening of the CEE to the West, large multinational retailers moved quickly into the region. This was particularly true for the extended food retailing sector (FMCG’s). Hungary, being very central, and having had good economic relations with the West in the past, was one of the more attractive markets to enter. We will follow the entry of one such multinational, Delhaize (Match), in detail. At the same time, we will note how two independent local chains, CBA and COOP were able to respond to the threat of the invasion of the multinationals.

  • Amazon and Casino Group Strengthen Their Partnership in France and Announce the Deployment of a New Service with Casino Stores
    Paris, 3 june 2021, Amazon and Casino Group strengthen their partnership in France and announce the deployment of a new service with Casino stores Building on the success of the commercial partnership between Monoprix and Amazon in March 2018, Amazon and Casino Group are strengthening their alliance to continue to make daily life easier for French consumers, by bringing them a new click and collect service with Casino brands. The aim is to offer Amazon customers an even wider selection of food products across France, and to introduce new customers to the food e-commerce expertise of Casino chains. For more than three years, Amazon and Casino Group have been working together to deploy new solutions to make their customers' daily lives easier, including express food delivery services and the provision of parcel collection points. This new phase is in line with the partnership established between Casino Group and Amazon in March 2018. Currently, Monoprix and Naturalia shops, available on Amazon.co.uk for Prime members, cover 70% of the population of the Paris region as well as the cities of Bordeaux, Lyon, Nice and Montpellier. More than 9,000 Monoprix and Naturalia items are available on the Amazon website for free two-hour delivery on purchases of €60 or more. In addition, 600 Amazon Lockers are deployed in the Group's shops (Casino Supermarkets, Monoprix, Casino convenience stores, etc.) and several new installations are planned for the coming weeks. On the strength of these results, Amazon and Casino group will soon be rolling out a new click and collect service with Casino stores in France.
