More generally, the NielsenIQ ranking highlights "the extraordinary stranglehold of the liquids aisle on the charts," the specialist emphasizes. Among the 50 most purchased products in 2025 are 42 beverages.
Despite recent scandals surrounding the quality of bottled water , it continues to attract massive numbers of French people. Cristaline water appears twice in the ranking (6x1.5L and 12x50cl), for total sales of 242.3 million euros. Eight other brands of still or sparkling water also appear in the ranking: Volvic (5th position, 70 million euros), Evian (13th position, 55.8 million euros), Mont Roucous (14th, 53.9 million euros), San Pellegrino (17th, 52.1 million euros), Vittel (35th, 38.2 million euros), Hépar (37th, 37.7 million euros), La Salvetat (45th, 35.1 million euros) and Perrier (46th, 34.6 million euros).
Coca-Cola, the favorite brandWhile calls to boycott American products have multiplied since Donald Trump 's return to power in the United States in January, they haven't been enough to dethrone Coca-Cola as the French people's favorite brand. Six of the brand's products appear in the top 50 most-purchased supermarket products, including four in the top 10.
