Hello lovetoresearch-ga,

Thank you for your question.

My search returned the following results:

M & M Planet Retail in their recent report describes Europe's Top 30
Grocery Retailers in 2002.

“In the last few years, concentration in the European grocery trade
has increased: in 2001, Europe's 30 largest grocers had a combined
market share of 68.5%, compared with only 51.5% in 1992. This
development has been at the expense of small and medium-sized
retailers, a very large number of which were taken over by other
retailers, or went out of business as a result of tougher competition.
And there is no end in sight to this concentration process: in just a
few years time, Europe's TOP 30 players will capture between 80% and
90% of the European grocery trade.”

They continue with a listing of The Top 30 International Grocery
Retailers in Europe 2002, as follows:

1. Carrefour 
2. Metro
3. Rewe
4. Tesco
5. Intermarche
6. Auchan
7. Edeka
8. Aldi
9. Ahold
10. Leclerc
11. Sainsbury
12. Casino
13. Schwarz
14. Walmart
15. Tengelmann

In addition they include gross sales, market share and charts for
these main players in the supermarket industry.

I just wanted to say thanks for the information. I am wondering how
the companies were ranked and if possible to get their sales?

Hello lovetoresearch-ga,

Your very welcome and in regard to your clarification request;

The Top 30 International Grocery Retailers in Europe 2002 are ranked
by Net and Gross sales. The chart on this direct link to the
information ( http://www.itsfood.com/top30/top30.htm ) shows the sales
and ranking for each company.

The five Supermarket chains for Germany have these sales which I
obtained from the above link as well.

1. Metro-Group - net sales 48,292 - gross sales 54,799
2. Rewe-Group - net sales 37,540 – gross sales 41,375
3. Edeka/AVA-Group - net sales 28,035 – gross sales 31,000
4. Aldi-Group - net sales 27,300 – gross sales 30,079
5. Tengelmann-Group - net sales 14,060 – gross sales 15,429

The five Supermarket chains for France have these sales which I
obtained from the above link as well.

1. Carrefour - net sales 56,479 - gross sales 70,502
2. Intermarche - net sales 31,900 - gross sales 34,741
3. Auchan - net sales 24,500 - gross sales 32,190
4. Leclerc - net sales 21,500 - gross sales 26,071
5. Geant Casino - net sales 17,306 - gross sales 22,643

The five Supermarket chains for the U.K. have these sales which I
obtained from the above link as well:

1. Tesco - net sales 35,765 - gross sales 38,867
2. Sainsbury - net sales 22,579 - gross sales 38,867
3. Safeway - net sales 14,029 - gross sales 15,187

Note: I could not find Asda net sales or gross sales but according to
the above link it would not be number five. I would think The Big Food
Group or Marks & Spencer would be number 4 and 5 respectively
according to the chart of the 30 top Grocery Retailers in Europe.

4. Marks & Spencer – net sales – 11,731 – gross sales 12,242
5. Big Food Group – net sales – 11,201 – gross sales 11,772
6.  Somerfield – net sales - 7,360 – gross sales - 8,164
7. JLP – net sales – 6,470 – gross sales 7,160
8. Morrison - net sales 5,946 - gross sales 6,296
