Summary and extracts

1 Market overview

1.1 Definition and scope of the study

In the Jewish religion, kosher refers to all the rules related to food prescribed in the Torah. A food is said to be kosher if it conforms to the prescriptions of kosher. Kashrut regulates Jewish food in different ways: notably by prohibiting certain animal species, by regulating ritual slaughter or by prohibiting mixtures.

While the turnover ofthe global kosher food market is increasing, with an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 3.7%, the French market, representing 10% of the European market, is stable. The latter is a mature niche market, although relatively young (about 35 years).

Althoughthe Jewish community is the main customer base for kosher food, there are other categories of consumers, such as people of the Muslim faith or consumers with specific diets (vegetarianism, lactose-free...). Moreover,kosher certification is now a guarantee of quality for a growing number of French people. However, the increase in the price of kosher food is a brake on the development of the market.

Apart from the specialized players, such as the brands Yarden and Makabi, the big groups of the food sector are trying to develop on this niche market.
