This improvement is likely to be exacerbated by the deterioration in economic indicators, particularly the rise in energy prices, which will have an impact on retail margins and consumer sentiment, leading to a slowdown in consumption.
As e-commerce and local businesses continue to grow, physical brands face a renewal imperative to remain competitive. New store formats (drive, supermarket…) and creation of new product ranges (local, organic, eco-responsible…) are the means that big-box retailers find to remain competitive and to climb the slight slope.
In France, 3 colossal players share 60% of the retail market (Leclerc, Carrefour and Les Mousquetaires)
In 2021, there were 2,500 apparel companies in France, 63% of which were SMEs. These companies employed 32,000 employees in France and more than 300,000 abroad. The total turnover of the French clothing industries was 15 billion euros, with an international turnover of 8.7 billion euros, or 58% of the total.
