European Retail Rankings: Inc Impact of COVID-19 – December 2020

£ 2,195 (Excl.Tax)

Report Summary

“Food retailers head the European retail rankings, as one would expect, with Schwarz at the top, however the ranking does reflect growth in online, with Amazon the only non-food retailer in the top 10. Amazon is likely to overtake Carrefour in 2020 and may even challenge Aldi. But it will be a long time before it challenges Schwarz Group whose sales are still more than double Amazon’s. Although this report only covers the period up to June 2020, one can see some of the COVID impact in retailers that are quoted. In general, non-food retailers have seen extended forced closures. Food retailers have benefitted from more people staying at home and restaurants being closed.”
– Michael Oliver, Senior Retail Analyst
