Until 2021, the future seemed full of promise for specialists in organic products. There seemed to be further potential for organic grocers, mainly as such specialists were also becoming click-and-collect experts and strengthening their private label lines to become more competitive.
However, some players remain optimistic, saying that the same drop occurred in the channel in 2009, just after the sub-prime crisis – which was then followed by recovery. They deem the organic segment is in a “stage crisis”.
The most notable exception within the waning chains of organic specialist stores is Marcel & Fils, notably thanks to its strong external growth strategy. The acquisition of the 16 La Vie Saines stores (a small chain that was included in “others”) in July 2022 will enable it to record outstanding double-digit value growth in 2022-2023.

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.
