Executive summary

Are French Bakeries and Coffee Shops Losing Customers?

Breadmakers have been available since the 1990s, although it was not until 2002 that they started to see a significant increase in sales in France. They continue to grow rapidly, and although volume growth reached a peak in 2005, sales still doubled in 2007.

Coffee machines also continued to see healthy growth in 2007, driven in part by new formats, such as pods and pads, whilst traditional drip coffee makers also performed well. However, the most promising area of development in 2007 was espresso machines, strong growth in which contributed to a significant rise in value sales of coffee machines.

The “Cocoon” Opens Up

“Cocooning” – the trend for staying at home rather than going out and socialising – characterised France at the turn of the millennium; however, French homes have opened up in recent years, with the expression “beehive” being used to describe this new phenomenon. The French have traditionally liked to invite guests to their homes, whilst the family remains strong, with many people aged up to 30 years old continuing to live with their parents.

With more people round the table to enjoy food together, cooking has regained some of its popularity.

Built-ins Drive Value besides Volume

It is traditional in France to receive guests for a glass of wine, a cappuccino and, above all a pleasant meal, making the home a focal point for socialising. The importance of the home has been reflected in increased spending on home furniture and appliances since 2001.

In recent years, demand in the kitchen environment has moved towards more prestigious products with enhanced functions and appealing designs – often with a “professional” look.

Come-back of Branded Products

Recovery was not only felt by large kitchen appliances, as small electrical appliances also saw strong growth in 2007. The French have shown renewed interest in branded products, as style, design, material and colour, as well as convenience in handling, have assumed greater importance.

This shift has come as a relief to operators in the French domestic appliances market, which are hoping that the market has moved beyond the exclusive focus on price which was characteristic of earlier years.

Hair!

After a sluggish performance early in the review period, items related to hair – hair styling appliances and body shavers – saw dynamic growth in 2006, which accelerated in 2007. This boosted sales in personal care appliances overall.
