As a new or already established exporter in the FMCG industry, you probably face the challenge of finding the right retail partners for your export business. This is especially true if you’re looking to expand into Europe.

With more than 9,000 different retail outlets, Europe is a key destination for the global FMCG industry. Many of the world’s largest companies have a strong presence in this region, yet it’s one of the most complex and competitive markets to enter.

This makes it even more difficult for exporters worldwide to identify the right retail targets for expanding their business to Europe.

To help you overcome this challenge, Wabel has developed a comprehensive guide to key retail targets in Europe, which is a one-stop resource that includes information on some of the most popular and important retail chains in Europe. This guide will point you towards the top 5 retail players in each of the 39 European markets.

In addition, this export guide covers the current scenario and growth prospects of the European countries and helps you identify the countries with the largest industry revenues and population demographics.

Besides, it shows you a non-exhaustive snapshot of a number of smaller but influential players – whether they’re retailers, importers, or food service companies – in each European country who use our Needl platform to source new products.
