Mass Consumption / Agri-Food / Retail

Our activities

Keeping up with crises

There is of course the general trend of responsible consumption with second hand, bulk buys, ethical labels, greener packaging, animal well-being and so on, and then there is the set of economic and societal phenomena requiring sector stakeholders to be hyper-reactive and pragmatic on a daily basis to harness the purchasing power of French households. Whilst in the past, consumerism represented fulfilment and was a social marker, it is now a symbol of an exhausted social model, consumption that fails to respect resources or the environment, and globalisation pushed to the extreme, destroying local employment and social balance.

Less is more

The abundance of products from all over the world, resulting from agricultural productivity and spécialisation, needs to be gradually replaced with simpler, more local products. These products will have to be more expensive for consumers, rewarding the effort of keeping their production in France.

Concern is at an all time high, especially given the recent rise in inflation. However, this concern should be allayed by the new paradigm of consuming less but consuming better, the pet topic of trade and retail stakeholders to drive change.

COHDA, focusing on agility and a resolutely different future

Thinking differently is one thing, providing the means to act differently is quite another. With 12 years of experience in mass consumption issues, the COHDA study institute helps producers, merchants and retailers to calmly tackle the major changes they are facing.

The COHDA teams are fully aware that turning a set of values on its head is never easy. Clearing out the methods of the past and old benchmarks is always a difficult process, even if they are no longer helpful in tackling the challenges of the coming decade.

Staying true to our co-construction approach, we strive to offer our very best analysis methods to guide your activities, help you weigh up your priorities, and facilitate your change strategy from both an operational perspective (products, concepts) and a strategic perspective, drawing on in-house analysts 100% made in France, our commitment to a local, inclusive society.
