In particular, we observe a fourth consecutive year of lower sales in France. Indeed, more and more brands are pursuing their shift towards more natural and more responsible products. Transition towards natural products is on-going.

“Deconsumerism is on the increase”. Consumers continue to visit hypermarkets and supermarkets less and less.
