What are the key differences between the U.S. and Canadian retail markets?
Canadian retail is much more concentrated, with five major retailers controlling the market. Canadian retailers often follow different promotional calendars and pricing strategies compared to the U.S. market. Consumer preferences also differ, with more emphasis on value and local sourcing. Brands must adhere to regulatory requirements like bilingual product packaging (English and French). Acosta provides expert guidance to help U.S. brands navigate these requirements seamlessly.
