PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Muted outlook over forecast period
Small local grocers will see further decline over the forecast period, with both constant value falling, as well as more outlets closing. Small local grocers will continue to be more popular in more rural areas, but even these stores will face increasing competition, especially from the continuing expansion of convenience retailers.
Specialisation key to survival
Players with a distinct product proposition or which specialise in a specific segment, such as coffee, wine, or organic food will fare better due to their unique offerings. Other more general outlets will find it difficult to survive mounting competition from larger retail channels.
Developing online activity key
Facing increasing competition from the online operations of modern grocery retailers and with consumers becoming more comfortable ordering groceries online, small local grocers will need to become more active online. Initial steps could involve working with on-demand delivery apps or even taking orders via chat apps like WhatsApp.

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.
