About This Report

Mar 2016

Kroger Co, the US-focused grocery giant, enjoyed substantial growth over the review period as the domestic grocery market consolidated. Kroger’s growth was partly driven by acquisition, most recently the purchase of Harris Teeter in 2013 and Roundy’s Inc in 2015, while its sophisticated private label offer, underpinned by extensive manufacturing capacity and a commitment to low prices, drove organic growth. The company is well positioned to increase its market share over the forecast period.
