PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Declines for hypermarkets over forecast period as consumers continue to favour convenience stores and discounters
The long-term outlook for hypermarkets in the UK remains uncertain, with the channel expected to record low declines over the forecast period. While hypermarkets will continue to play a major role in the grocery retail space, it will face increasing competition from discounters and convenience stores, which better align with evolving consumer preferences.
Strategic expansion and digital integration anticipated to drive competitiveness
Hypermarket players will continue to optimise their physical store footprint, with selective expansion and refurbishments aimed at enhancing customer experience. In particular, leaders Asda Superstore and Tesco Extra are expected to increase their investment in digital retail, leveraging data-driven insights to personalise promotions and enhance omnichannel integration.
Private label and value-driven strategies expected to support positioning of hypermarkets
The success of private label products in discounters has prompted hypermarket chains to enhance their own private label ranges to remain competitive, focusing on quality and affordability. Retailers such as Sainsbury's Supermarkets and banners under Tesco have continued to develop new product innovations in their private label portfolios, aiming to capture cost-conscious shoppers who seek value without compromising quality.
