Hypermarkets is expected to see further value growth in South Africa over the forecast period. In the short term, South African consumers are likely to continue to prioritise value, convenience, and efficiency, favouring hypermarkets that offer competitive pricing, extensive loyalty programmes, and affordable assortments.
With extensive product ranges and large-scale operations, hypermarkets can benefit from digital tools such as AI, data analytics, and IoT to predict consumer trends, manage inventory efficiently, and personalise marketing strategies. Investing in machine learning will become increasingly common as operators seek strategic ways to leverage their data to improve consumers' experiences.
As the landscape of hypermarkets comprises a limited number of operators in South Africa, differentiation through strategic positioning has been used by retailers to reach their target audience. For instance, Pick 'n' Pay Hypermarket and Checkers Hyper have been expanding their fresh food offerings to attract wellness focused consumers.
