Representing less than 10% of the French retail trade in the 1960s, groups of traders today weigh 30%. The groups, which were initially only central purchasing, have now become networks of brands that bring thousands of independent entrepreneurs modernity and competitiveness.
The associated business is resisting the crisis! Piloting and benchmarking points of sale are the key to maintaining this trend. Nevertheless, pooling everything that can be while preserving the independence of each is not easy in terms of steering.
Key figures of the Cooperative & Associated Trade 2016:
- EUR 150.3 billion of sales including tax
- 2.3% growth
- 7% of GDP
- 97 groups and 180 national banners
- 3-year survival rate: 95%
