Summary and extracts

1 Visión general del mercado

1.1 Definición y alcance del estudio

El mercado de los hard discount es un un subconjunto del mercado minorista de alimentos más amplio (GSA) ...junto a los supermercados e hipermercados.

En Francia, el INSEE reúne a los hipermercados bajo la nomenclatura NAF 47.11F, que corresponde a "venta al por menor no especializada predominantemente de alimentos en tiendas con una superficie de venta de 2500 m² o más". En cuanto a ellos supermercados se agrupan bajo el código NAF 47.11D que corresponde a "comercio minorista no especializado predominantemente en alimentos, con una facturación de alimentos superior al 65% de las ventas, en tiendas con una superficie de venta de entre 400 y 2.500 m²". En Francia, los grandes minoristas como Leclerc, Carrefour, Système U, Intermarché y Casino dominan el mercado de la GSA (más del 80% de la cuota de mercado en valor), mientras que las marcas de descuento duro como Lidl o Aldi representan algo menos del 11% en valor.

Los signos de la hard-discount se integran en "supermercados", aunque su tamaño, a veces más pequeño, también puede acercarlos a ciertos mini-mercados o tiendas de comestibles. Este estudio se centrará únicamente en los supermercados e hipermercados, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta la tendencia al desplazamiento hacia los mercados de gama alta y el aumento de la superficie de ciertos establecimientos de descuento duro, como Lidl, en los últimos años (véase el estudio). Las marcas tradicionales de descuento se distinguen por una gama de productos y servicios que incluyen barato y no diversificado (número limitado de referencias), principalmente a través de productos en etiquetas privadas (etiquetas privadas o marcas privadas) para el consumo básico. Esto implica una estrategia de precios bajos : bajo presupuesto de marketing y comunicación, poco esfuerzo en la presentación del producto, personal limitado y versátil, ..

En Francia, el mercado del hard discount, en su formato tradicional, ha experimentado un aumento significativo del número de alcanzó su pico en la década de 2000 pero ha conocido por un un declive sustancial . El modelo de "bajo costo" de los hards-discounters ha sufrido de la mayor competencia de los principales minoristas (supermercados e hipermercados), que ofrecen precios a veces casi tan atractivos, y la transformación de los hábitos de compra y las expectativas de los consumidores. El digitalización del sector también es importante y atrae a los consumidores a través de varios nichos: conducción, entrega a domicilio, recogida en la tienda, etc., donde están presentes la mayoría de los actores

Frente a esta disminución, los minoristas de descuento duro, y en particular Lidl en Francia a partir de 2012, han tendido a recurrir al segmento de "descuento duro" soft-discount o smart-discount La nueva gama de productos, que implica moverse hacia arriba a través de una oferta de productos honorarios y mejor calidad La evolución de la cuota de mercado de Lidl en el mercado de la GSA - de 4,7% en 2012 a 5,9% en 2019 - da testimonio del éxito de esta renovación. Tanto es así que Lidl, e incluso Aldi, ya no son considerados necesariamente como marcas "puras" de descuento, sino como marcas "puras" de descuento supermercados o tiendas de marcas privadas Las fronteras del mercado de la GSA están siendo perturbadas..
