Key Highlights

Over half of consumers of Bakery & Cereals products in France indicate that Indulgence influences their consumption decisions. This is supported by the significant proportions of the value of each Bakery & Cereals category that can also be attributed to Indulgence. Targeting this trend is therefore essential to the success of this market.

The population in France is 61% Urban; however the value share of the Cereal Bars market that can be attributed to Urban Dwellers is much higher than this. Cereal Bars are a relatively new introduction to the market and the French are already not great Cereal eaters; it is not surprising that Cereal Bars have not yet breached the traditional Rural French community in any significant way. Marketers should concentrate their efforts on encouraging consumption in the Urban community.
