It says consumer efforts to curtail spending will encourage more home cooking, which benefits the grocery industry in general as people forgo restaurant dining to cut costs. The report says discount grocers are expected to see the biggest increase in food retail volumes as shoppers seek promotional discounts, lower-cost brands and more affordable options.
The expected growth in the discount format is the opposite of what occurred during the pandemic, when health and safety concerns, the desire for convenient “one-stop shops” and online grocery orders drove sales at conventional supermarkets. The report says the sales trends between discount and conventional stores are expected to gradually return to historic levels as economic conditions stabilize, but that discount grocery could see some “structural benefit” if they can hold on to new customers.
