Food wholesalers’ economic return rose to 10.7% in 2024, Insee study finds
Insee says French food wholesalers’ economic profitability increased 1.6 percentage points between 2020 and 2024, even as sales volumes were nearly flat.
An Insee study published on 20 October found economic profitability for French food wholesalers reached 10.7% in 2024, up 1.6 percentage points from 2020. Over those four years, wholesale food selling prices rose 31.2%, while food wholesalers’ sales volume was almost unchanged, down 0.1%.
Commercial margins rose 31.8% in value for food wholesalers and 16.9% for wholesalers in raw agricultural products over 2020–24. The study reports a historical sector analysis; its separate 2025 estimate puts the combined agro-food wholesale trade margin at €49 billion.
