PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Tech trends will become more impactful for small local grocers during the forecast period
Small local grocers will continue to invest strongly in technology in order to modernise business and attract consumers in the short term. Although cash is the most common payment method used in small local grocers, leading chains are increasingly likely to incorporate modern payment methods, such as QR payments via MercadoPago from MercadoLibre or Modo from leading banks.
Kiosks remain important in terms of outlets and value sales
In a highly fragmented channel, kiosks are expected to continue to play an important role in small local grocers, in terms of outlet numbers and value sales, over the forecast period. Following the crisis experienced in 2024, the channel is expected to rebound during 2025 with the recovery of purchasing power and employment.
Slow progress likely for e-commerce
Compared to other retail channels, the penetration of e-commerce is low among small local grocers. The channel is highly fragmented and dominated by small independent businesses rather than chains.

DISCLAIMER
Small Local Grocers
Small local grocers are mostly independent retail outlets (with a selling space of under 400 square metres), kiosks, market stalls or street vendors, owned by families and/or run on an individual basis, and with a primary focus on selling food/beverages/tobacco and other groceries. Small local grocers also includes ethnic grocery stores that specialize in foreign brands and food types, health food stores, confectioners/newsagents/tobacconists (CTNs), food & drink souvenir stores, legally registered mobile shops that are run out of a truck, and regional specialty stores. Retail sales from farmers markets, farms, vineyards, or similar producers are also included in small local grocers. Outlets located within wet markets in Southeast Asia (often located in government-owned multi-story buildings) should be counted as separate outlets.
