Global Retailing: How Consumer and Retailing Fragmentation are Changing Grocery Retailing

Euromonitor International's Global Retailing: How Consumer and Retailing Fragmentation are Changing Grocery Retailing examines whether recent high growth rates can be sustained in an economic downturn. Growth has been boosted by richer consumers spending more and some companies’ decision to sell a wider range of non-food products. Rising sales have supported expansion into new markets, new store formats and moves into private label products. However, the economic downturn has set some of these strategies back, this analysis looks at whether grocery retailers will continue to enjoy similar rates of growth in the future.
