2.
Edible fats
Canned goods
Bottled drinks

2.
Stores specialising in diet foods.
3.

Turnover
We take into account the total turnover generated during the course of the past year.
For stores that only opened during the course of the year, sales are extrapolated for a full year. For stores that closed
during the course of the year, Nielsen assumes that no sales at all were made in that year.
For hypermarkets, only the turnover for the food, paper products, care products and cleaning products departments is
taken into account.

NUMBER OF F3 STORES
The small distribution is primarily responsible for the declining number of
grocery stores in Belgium. F3 stores are closing less profitable stores year
after year bringing their total to 4 641 stores in 2013. Reasons for the decline
in F3 are clear: increasing competition from organized supermarkets,
inadequate sales and profit, leaving no funds to invest.

The market share per store indicates the importance of one average store. So the effect of openings is neutralised and it is possible to examine
whether a given store remains equally important over time.

TURNOVER PER STORE IN 1000 EUR
An average F1 store makes four times the turnover reached in F2 and Hard Discount. An average
F3 store only had a turnover of 266 000 EUR. It is not surprising that some stores have to close
as a number of points of sale are loss-making. Only those stores that offer something specific
(Sunday openings, etc.) are able to create added value and hence remain competitive.

EVOLUTION IN TURNOVER, NUMBER OF STORES AND POPULATION IN 2013
In the North (Area 1 and 2) the share in terms of turnover is lower than the share in
terms of population. This is in contrast to the South (Area 4 and 5) where the share of
turnover is higher than the share of the population.
In the South, consumers shop mainly in stores included in the grocery universe. In the
North, there are far more independent and specialist businesses (fishmongers,
bakeries, etc.) and consumers shop more often in stores outside the Nielsen grocery
universe.

AVERAGE TURNOVER PER STORE (IN 1000 EUR)
In Brussels, F1 and F3 record the highest turnover per store. The results of F3
can be explained by the F3 convenience superettes which are highly
successful among other stores because of the early and late opening hours,
Sunday openings and ready meals.
In the South, F2 has a higher turnover per store compared to the North.

accounted for this maintaining of the market share.
