PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Hypermarkets expected to struggle for growth despite a more positive economic outlook
Opposing factors are likely to shape the performance of the hypermarkets channel over the forecast period. On one side, improving consumer confidence and an increased willingness to spend on quality and premium products is set to benefit hypermarkets.
Carrefour expected to focus more on other grocery channels
Carrefour is likely to remain the biggest player in hypermarkets in Belgium, with it having maintained a network of 40 outlets since 2018. The company is not expected to close any of its outlets but at the same time, it is unlikely that it will open any new hypermarkets.
Cora hypermarkets to keep losing shares
Competition from other channels and from category leader Carrefour is likely to limit Cora’s growth opportunities over the forecast period. Without significant investment it is unlikely that Cora will be able to turn around this situation.
