The industrial BVP market in France

This study analyses the French market for industrially produced soups: liquid soups in cartons or bottles, dehydrated and instant soups, chilled soups and gazpachos. It compares the available measures, which cannot be added together: retail panel sales in supermarkets and hypermarkets, industrial production, foreign trade and individual consumption. In supermarkets and hypermarkets, soups are worth 424,4 million euros over the year to mid-2025 according to Circana, down in both value and volume. The study describes a rather elderly consumer base, consumption concentrated in autumn and winter and the weight of homemade soup, followed by the range of prices per litre and the distribution channels. It presents the players: Liebig, which accounts for 51,3 % of ambient liquid soup sales by value in 2025, private labels on the rise, Knorr now under licence at Sill Entreprises, and the arrival of Maggi in cartons.

The French canning market is estimated at 4.5 billion euros. The global canned food market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.44% from 2022 to 2028. France remains a stable market and a major producer in Europe, with 99.7% of households buying around 50 kg of canned products a year. The industry is moving towards high-end and organic products.

Vegetables account for 60% of canned food consumption, ready-made meals for 10% and fish for 10%. In terms of value, vegetables and fish account for 75% of market sales. Production costs for canned fish and fish products have risen sharply. A similar trend can be observed in the fruit and vegetable canning segment. The main players in the French canned fo

This study analyses the French egg market across its full scope: shell eggs for human consumption, egg products for the food industry and foodservice, distribution channels, foreign trade and the main operators. It distinguishes the dynamics of the supermarket aisle, household purchases and professional outlets, in order to shed light on a market that is both widely present in everyday consumption and strongly structured by upstream farming, packing and processing. The study tracks demand growth, with 237 eggs consumed per capita in 2025 including shell eggs and egg products, compared with 227 in 2024. It also shows the rise of the supermarket channel, at 2,19 billion euros over the twelve months ending at the end of June 2026, and the increase in household spending, from 1,425 billion euros in 2022 to 1,815 billion euros in 2025. At the same time, it examines the transformation of supply: 77 % of French laying hens were raised cage-free at the end of 2025, but this conversion is weigh
