PROSPECTS

Supermarkets focus on maintaining quality fresh food despite challenges

Provision of quality fresh food remains a challenge for most supermarket players due to lower frequency of fresh food turnover in supermarkets, as most customers favour shopping for fresh food from hypermarkets during weekly shopping trips. Supermarkets based in malls and neighbourhood shopping centres remain at an advantage as their basket sizes are comparatively higher; in other locations, lower basket value impacts turnover of fresh food items, impacting the quality of fresh food items at these stores and further discouraging customers to shop at supermarkets for fresh food items.

Supermarkets partner with third-party delivery apps

To supplement home delivery sales, supermarkets have partnered with third-party delivery apps such as InstaShop and Elgrocer to increase consumer reach and provide greater convenience. With the development of digital commerce platforms, supermarket operators have reportedly followed a pure play approach, focusing on their core business in retail and harnessing digital channels through third-party marketplace platforms.

New store formats appear

During 2017, Marks & Spencer opened its first food store in the country, which was well received. Though there are a number of Marks & Spencer department stores in the country, with a few having an in-store food section, the launch of the dedicated food store follows customer demand for favourite food items.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Al Maya Group retains leading value share

Al Maya supermarkets maintained its position as the leading supermarket player in 2017. The retailer offered attractive sales promotions and inducements to retain customers as well continued outlet expansion in high-density areas such as Karama in Dubai and Al Reem Plaza in Abu Dhabi.

Carrefour follows expansion in supermarket formats

Carrefour’s multiformat expansion was led by greater expansion across its supermarket brand Carrefour Market in key neighbourhoods in major cities. The brand’s leadership in grocery retail and assortment of items enabled the retailer to capture share in the supermarket channel following rapid growth.

Choithrams looks ahead to redefine proposition

With various economic challenges as well as increasing market competition, Choithrams has begun to develop a niche market for itself by not only providing a premium product range but filling gaps in the market with unconventional services. The retailer launched a new supermarket concept “Marketplace by Choithrams” during the year, which focuses on fresh food items and a range of speciality import lines.
