Our colleagues on a trend tour in France: insights from 20 retailers

Last week, our colleagues Sanne Blokland and Wouter Vugts traveled through France, where they visited over 20 different retailers. The goal: to gain an up-to-date and sharp understanding of the trends, innovations, and pricing shifts within several key categories in which Packit operates.
At Packit, we believe that strong retail solutions start with truly understanding the shop floor. We do this by visiting markets, combining data with practical observations and shopper insights, and by actually examining products.

Categories we delved deep into

During this trend tour, the focus was on:

  • Laundry
  • Tableware
  • PET (animal) category
  • Waste Bags
  • Food bags
  • Foils including baking paper, aluminum foil and household foil

In these categories, we have seen differences in segmentation, sustainability, packaging, price positioning and shelf communication between various French retail formulas.

This approach forms an important part of our Packit Retail Solutions: we translate market insights, product analyses and shopper behavior into concrete and future-proof category recommendations.

“By going to the French shop floor ourselves, we immediately see where the opportunities lie, insights that we translate one-on-one into concrete growth for our customers.”
