ECONOMIC GROWTH IS STABLE IN EUROPE
FMCG growths remain more unpredictable due to local market conditions, changeable weather patterns and
seasonal impacts (i.e. the early Easter in 2018 which was in Q1).
As a result, Nominal sales across Europe slowed for the second successive quarter, to +2.4% and Volume
growths fell by 0.1%, for the first time since Q1 2017.
However we can anticipate Volume growths improving later in 2018 across most of Western Europe.
European inflation remains at around +2% (source: Eurostat) and Unit Value growth in FMCG - which reflects
basket mix aswell as price increases and core inflation - is stable at +2.5%.
Context
After a weak start to the year, the Eurozone economy continued at the same growth in the second quarter of 2018,
easing only slightly to +2.2% year-on-year (vs +2.4% percent in Q1).
GDP growth picked up a little in Germany, Netherlands, Portugal (and also UK) and was unchanged in France.
Growths slowed marginally in Italy and Spain but overall, the big Economies of Europe remain in good health.

FRANCEHighlights
After a positive end of year, FMCG growth has significantly weakened in 2018 : in Q1 first, and even further in Q2 where we notice a
drop in volume in spite of promotional focus still high from retailers on the French market.
Due to a negative P6 period (-1.8%), spring and even more first weeks of June showed a weather conditions less positive than in 2017
which strongly impacted beverages categories.
The growth is still there in value but mainly supported by 2 channels, click & drive as always and also SMPL (Discounters) performing
well thanks to investments in stores and communication push.

UKHighlights
Economic growth accelerated in Q2 following a weak Q1, driven by the service sector and in particular wholesale
and retail but GDP growth remains modest.
In annual terms, the economy grew 1.3% in the second quarter, up slightly from 1.2% in Q1 and the Bank of
England (Central Bank) expects the economy to expand 1.4% overall in 2018.
There is still no significant impact on sentiment or consumer spend with ‘Brexit` now less than 9 months away.
Nominal sales and Volume sales growth over the full quarter slowed due to the timing of Easter last year and
stronger year ago comparatives in the early summer. However there was improving growth in the last 4 weeks of
the quarter.
With inflation across the economy as whole slowing, Unit value growths in FMCG weakened to +1.3% after
accelerating strongly to +3.2% in Q2 2017.
The outlook for Unit value growths is to increase slightly later this year, as the result of disruption to some local
food and produce supply following the UK Heatwave of summer of 2018 and a recent weakening of Sterling against
both the Euro and the Dollar.

GERMANYHighlights
The German economy continues to develop positively. The economic growth is estimated to grow by +2.3% in 2018 versus 2017.
This positive growth is mainly driven by the consumption of private households which is influenced by a decreasing rate of
unemployment (5.0% for June 2018). Also affecting the growth are a higher demand and rising investments.
Q2 shows a total growth rate of +1.2%. The growth for Q2 is value driven (1.8%), while volume shows a small decline by -0.7%.
Regarding the channels small hypermarkets show the highest growth rate with 5.1%, followed by hard discounters with 3.5% for Q2.
Price increases fuel the growth of value sales of dairy products (cooking fats & oils and cheese). Due to good weather conditions Ice
Cream sales increases by 14.2%, this being the highest growth rate among all categories. In the near food category hair care products
show the highest growth rate for Q2 with 6.9%.

SPAINHighlights
The Spanish economy grew 2,7% on quarter in 12 months to June’18, easing from 3.0% expansion in the previous period.
Despite healthy employment growth (as measured by social security affiliations), retail sales posted only marginal gains on average,
pointing to soft private consumption dynamics.
In the political area, the new prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, presented his government’s economic plan to congress on 17 July,
proposing to raise taxes on corporations and slow the pace of deficit reduction to increase public spending.
The Consumer Confidence Index is stable and far above European average (92 vs. 87 for Q2 2018). In general, consumers are
increasingly optimistic about the future: falling unemployment and the generally positive economic outlook.
We noticed an increase in prices in Spain (+4,0%), highlighting those products with big presence in our baskets like frozen fish, soft
drinks or wine.
Several factors contributed, like the general increase of raw material costs, less promotional pressure, and consumers leaning towards
premium segments.
The weather was not as good as the same period last year, which influenced the demand of beverages and ice-creams.

ITALYHighlights
Spring quarter 2018 has been negatively affected by an earlier Easter, celebrated at the end of March. Indeed, volumes slowed down,
whilst prices kept rising, thus allowing a moderate value sales growth.
Drug stores and discounters are the best-performing retail channel, as Italian consumers looked for slightly lower prices during an
uncertain political moment.
Fresh and frozen food drives growth all over the FMCG sector. Italians, even when in “saving mood”, are always keen on healthy diet
and sustainable grocery shopping.
Small brands and private labels success is mainly due to the fact that Italians are looking for some price convenience, still not giving up
quality.

APPENDIX: GLOSSARY
• Nominal value growth:
• Percentage change in value sales (expenditures) as measured by the total basket of reported product categories
• Unit value growth (≈ ‘price’ change):
• Percentage change in the average retail price per unit in the total basket of reported product categories
• The unit of volume in the basket varies by category (e.g. litres, kilograms, tonnes, etc)
• The change in average price per unit may result from:
• Price changes of individual products
• Change in the mix of purchased products; more or less expensive products, more or less promotions, etc.
• Channel switching; more or less purchases in discount stores, or hypermarkets, or convenience outlets, etc.
• Product or channel mix changes may be induced by price change or may just be the result of market dynamics.
• The unit value growth reflects how consumers experience ‘cost of living’ in their actual grocery shopping behavior.
• Volume growth:
• Percentage change in purchased volume (quantity) of products
