PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Small local grocers to still survive in the market
Over the forecast period it is expected Italian consumers will continue to show a strong interest towards shopping in specialist stores which are able to offer quality products and quality service from staff who understand and know well the products they are selling. At the same time, these stores buy into the ‘made in Italy’ promise generally and the high quality associated with Italian food, which should ensure small local grocers remain an important channel in small towns and villages but also in the country’s bigger towns and cities, being a reference point not only for Italians but as well as for incoming tourists.
SignorVino eyeing further expansion opportunities
Oniverse Group’s SignorVino chain of wine shops with kitchens performed well in 2024 thanks to the quality of the products on offer as well as the good quality of service, which continues to be appreciated by Italian consumers and tourists alike. In fact, by combing tradition and modernity, the retailer was one of the most dynamic players within the small local grocers category in 2024.
Small local grocers will need to focus on Italian traditions but with one eye on the future
Over the forecast period it is expected that small local grocers will suffer various threats, especially from larger format grocery retailers such as supermarkets and discounters.

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.
