Which major retail brands achieve the highest turnover in France? Supermarkets and hypermarkets are logically in the lead. But other commercial brands are not left out.
Figures that will make your head spin. The list of brands that have achieved a turnover of more than 1 billion euros in France, at checkouts in 2023, is known. Last year, 71 brands recorded more than 1 billion in turnover, according to Vigie Grande Conso. The top spots are naturally occupied by supermarkets and hypermarkets.
Three new brands joined this very exclusive club last year: the German shoe and fashion website Zalando, the Irish low-cost fashion specialist Primark and the Chinese clothing site Shein.
The turnover of the main brands was boosted by inflation. The top 50 brands which cover the current expenses of the French saw their cumulative activity increase by 10.6% over one year, to 367 billion euros, according to calculations by Vigie Grande Conso.

Two popular brands do not appear in this list. The first is Vinted. If its business volume is estimated at 1.6 billion euros by Vigi Grande Conso, the turnover is marginal, based on a commission collected on each transaction. The other brand is the Chinese Temu, present only for 8 months of the year. There is no doubt that he will make a sensational entry into the list next year.
