Distribution: Definition
The distribution sector plays an essential role in the French economy, ensuring the supply of products from manufacturers to consumers.
Distribution encompasses all activities and operations related to making products available to consumers and is closely linked to other sectors such as commerce and logistics.
When we talk about mass distribution, we are referring to retail that is most often carried out on a self-service basis in large and medium-sized stores (GMS). This industry is dynamic and represents a very large part of the market.
The Major Players in the Mass Distribution Market
The mass distribution market is divided into two major players:
- Food distribution (GSA): this includes brands that market food products. We notably find supermarkets and hypermarkets, which account for almost 50% of the food supply.
Hypermarkets are the leaders in food mass distribution: with a wide range of products, competitive prices, and physical and digital points of sale, the six main groups hold 85% of the market share.
- Specialized distribution (GSS): this includes stores specializing in a specific area such as electronics, clothing, sports, home improvement, among others.
🚀 Staffmatch collaborates with major names in the sector such as Auchan, Leroy Merlin, E. Leclerc!

E-commerce has developed rapidly and is now one of the essential challenges in the distribution and commerce sector. Mass distribution brands have had to adapt quickly to this new consumer trend, by implementing drive-through and click and collect systems, for example.
