PROSPECTS

Sales contract due to rising competition and changing habits

Sales of supermarkets continued to contract in 2017, with this performance linked to a drop in outlet volume, with many consumers shifting towards local convenience stores and forecourt retailers for top-up shops and discounters for weekly shops. Strong price competition also contributed to the decline, which further stimulated the leading players into closing less profitable stores, with this trend being particularly notable among Tesco and the Co-operative Group.

The launch of “dark supermarkets” to improve online efficiencies

A major frustration among UK consumers is the use of inaccurate substitute orders when shopping online, with comical substitutes furthermore often shared on social media, which creates negative publicity for grocery retailers. In order to combat inaccurate substitutions, many grocery retailers are opening new "dark supermarkets" ie distribution centres that cater exclusively for online orders and which provide greater efficiency.

Self-service checkouts set to become more widespread

Self-service checkouts are increasingly commonplace in supermarkets, as well as convenience stores and hypermarkets. Some retailers have also introduced scan-as-you-shop apps, with Tesco announcing plans to extend this service to more stores.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Large number of outlets make supermarkets accessible

Tesco, Waitrose and Wm Morris remained the leading players in supermarkets in 2017, holding around half of the category’s value sales. These players are among the most prolific in the country, and have the most outlets, which make them highly accessible to consumers across the country.

Growth of private label through collaboration

Consumers remain highly price sensitive which is leading to the rise of private label in supermarkets. For instance, Wm Morrison is attempting to provide consumers with an extensive range of private label lines which can cater to all needs and occasions.

Opportunities and challenges for supermarkets from internet retailing

Internet retailing offers both opportunities and challenges for the leading supermarket players. Many consumers who previously did a weekly grocery shop in store at supermarkets are now shopping from home.
