PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Small local grocers will face challenges over the forecast period
Small local grocers will continue to face competition from larger and stronger modern retailers over the forecast period, as the economic situation improves, and consumers regain their purchasing power. Even when considering the cheaper prices offered by ethnic stores, competition will still remain from other retailers who are able to offer larger ranges of products at similar prices.
An ongoing focus on sustainable and organic produce is expected
Small local grocers are expected to increasingly focus on offering sustainable and organic produce over the forecast period, as a way to differentiate from the larger grocery players. However, as most other grocery retailers in Sweden already offer organic products, it is necessary to go beyond simply being organic to also tap into other consumer trends, such as sustainability and ethically sourced products.
Lesser ability to embrace e-commerce and delivery options adds further challenges
Due to their small size, another challenge facing small local grocers is a lesser ability to embrace e-commerce and delivery options. On the other hand, more modern grocery channels continue to embrace these developments, meaning small local grocers will lag further and further behind.

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.
