Key Highlights

Almost two-thirds of the retail volume market for Soup is represented by just three retailers in Germany. The remaining third of the market is fairly fragmented. This indicates that manufacturers and producers have relatively low bargaining power with German retailers.

A relatively high proportion of Soup consumers in Germany state that their consumption is influenced by behavioral trends such as Busy Lives and Better Value for Money, however, a much smaller proportion of the actual market is directly affected by these trends. Overall this means that trend influence is limited and marketers must be alert to the potential of acting on trends which don't have a significant influence on final consumption.
