Market research and public opinion polling companies offer valuable insights into consumer behaviour, values and opinions for businesses, media and public-sector departments. Demand for market research is heavily reliant on business investment and technological advancements, with research companies examining target markets to help businesses tailor their products, services and marketing strategies. The advent of digital platforms and advanced analytics is reshaping the market landscape, providing more efficient data collection methods and insights essential for strategic decision-making. Revenue is expected to expand at a compound annual rate of 2.3% over the five years through 2025 to €2.1 billion, despite being forecast to dip by 2.2% in 2025. The COVID-19 pandemic brought adverse economic conditions, reducing business spending on non-essential services like market research. A decline in advertising spend further hit demand in 2020. However, as restrictions eased, revenue shot up in 2021, as businesses aimed to understand how consumer behaviour was changing in the post-pandemic landscape. Digital advertising's recovery also supported this rebound. Following this, though, inflationary pressures and geopolitical tensions in late 2022 and 2023 curbed spending, as businesses grappled with higher operational costs, leading to a downturn in revenue for market research companies. Prolonged uncertainty and political instability further subdued business investment through 2024 and into 2025, reflected in stagnant demand for market research services. Improving economic conditions are anticipated to bolster the industry’s prospects in the coming years. As inflation eases and interest rates fall, businesses will increase R&D activities, renewing demand for detailed market insights. Opportunities will arise from strengthened collaborations with advertising agencies, aligning strategies based on data-driven insights. Technological advancements will continue to drive innovation, with AI and mobile technologies reshaping data collection and interpretation processes. However, advancing technology will also create challenges as more businesses leverage advanced tech like Gen AI to set up in-house market research solutions, reducing spending on external research companies. At the same time, social media will continue to offer real-time public opinion insights, optimising audience segmentation and sentiment analysis. Data privacy regulations like the GDPR will necessitate balancing innovation with compliance, presenting operational burdens.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult for food retailers to compete with supermarkets. Supermarkets and discounters stock a large and varied range of meat, fish, baked goods, fruit and vegetables. In addition to high-quality organic products, supermarkets also offer cheaper alternatives, which have been particularly popular with consumers in recent years because of high consumer prices. In 2025, however, sales are expected to sink by 0.2% to €22.8 billion. Over the five years through 2025, France’s food retail revenue is estimated to expand by an average of 1.5%. In recent years, food retailers have benefitted from the growing popularity of high-quality food and organic products. While growing health and environmental awareness boosts sales of organic products, it also reduces per capita meat consumption. Meat production emits high greenhouse gas emissions and requires large amounts of water and land. Environmentally conscious consumers are reducing their meat consumption or switching to plant-based alternatives to reduce their ecological footprint. In addition, excessive consumption of red meat has been linked to cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers. On the other hand, fish consumption is deemed healthy because of its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, protein and minerals. Changing consumer trends are causing a shift in the sales shares of the various product groups within the food retail sector. Rising producer prices and increasing competition from supermarkets will pressure food retailers' sales and profits in the coming years. Food retailers’ revenue is expected to sink by an average of 0.3% to €22.6 billion by 2030. The focus on premium products and the use of new efficiency-enhancing technologies will become increasingly important for the competitiveness of food retailers.
