The 2004 Mintel report series on Food Retailing in Europe analyses the trends and dynamics of the food retail market in 19 countries, comprising the 16 Western European markets and the three largest Central and Eastern European countries; the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland.

At the centre of these incisive reports are Major Profiles of 20 top food retailing groups in Europe. Each provides in-depth analysis of a retailer’s trading performance, business strategy and operating strengths and weaknesses. For many countries, smaller profiles of other significant players both domestic and foreign are included, presenting a vital overview of the competitive environment in that market.

The series is split into different reports:

A combined country report comprising all 19 country sections, along with all 20 Major Profiles, all Mini Profiles, plus a pan-European Summary and Outlook with forecasts of sector sales by country, and sections on Consumer Trends in the four key markets of France, Germany, Spain and the UK.

Single country reports on the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands, which include the relevant country section along with Major and Mini Profiles of retailers operating in that country, the European Outlook, and for the UK, France, Germany and Spain, a look at consumer trends.
