Spring is a busy period in the European grocery industry, and with that in mind, Issue 2, 2017 of ESM: European Supermarket Magazine, which is published in mid-March, will offer insight into a number of key categories and trends influencing consumer behaviour.
Articles featured in this issue will include:
ESM meets Tobias Wasmuht, Managing Director of SPAR International, one of the world's largest retail brands, which is featured on more than 12,000 storefronts worldwide, encompassing seven million square metres of selling space.
We feature a special report on one of Italy’s most renowned family-owned retailers, Esselunga, on where the retailer goes next following the death of its founder Bernardo Caprotti last year.

Seafood exports continue to grow around the world, as increased focus on aquaculture, more effective supply chain networks, and a growing importance of sustainability and lower production costs help boost this hugely important industry.

ESM serves up a thorough look at the Barbecue Products and Outdoor Dining sectors, providing retailers with all the product information they need in the run up to the lucrative barbecue and picnic season, as well as focus on key food and drinks brands seeking to boost sales during the forthcoming summer months.
With Millennials increasingly influencing food consumption trends, and greater demand for products that meet ethical and provenance criteria, certified Organic Products continue to grow in popularity. Within this category, new product innovation is being driven both by big brand development and private label. ESM reports on this dynamic category.
As international travel brings European consumers to new, far-flung destinations, taste and flavour often plays a huge role in enhancing their experience. With this in mind, consumers are increasingly looking for Ethnic Products 'outside the norm' when they return home. ESM scours the globe to uncover the up and coming tastes that are set to hit retailers’ shelves.
The Free From Foods category is expected to continue its exponential growth over the next few years, as a wider variety of consumers - both those with specific dietary intolerances and those seeking a healthier lifestyle - embrace the trend. ESM examines the latest trends in the sector.
The Snack Foods industry is one of the fastest-growing in global retail, with a recent study by Research and Markets predicting growth of 5.8% for the category between now and 2021, when the market will be worth $620 billion. ESM examines where the growth opportunities lie.
