Drink specialists witnessed significant growth during the pandemic as bars and restaurants were closed for most of 2020, in addition to the beginning of 2021. Therefore, alcohol consumption shifted to the home, where Israelis could entertain friends and family when social distancing measures allowed.
Traditional grocery retailers is a highly fragmented competitive landscape in Israel dominated by smaller players under “others”. Led by health food store Nizat Haduvdevan Kanfei Neshariminclude, the channel features a number of specialist retailers including second-ranked Wine in the City Express Ltd.
Traditional grocery retailers is predicted to record stable value growth (at constant 2021 prices) over the forecast period, although its performance will not be as dynamic compared to 2020 at the height of the pandemic with stockpiling and shopping locally driving up sales. Nevertheless, the channel will continue to be favoured by consumers who demand premium and more unique food and drink products as well as an engaging shopping experience.
Drink specialists, including those focusing on retailing wine and promoting local boutique wineries, are expected to further expand in outlet numbers over the forecast period as premium wine consumption is likely to continue to grow in popularity in line with rising disposable incomes, and increasing sophistication amongst the local population. While there will be a further shift back towards foodservice due to pent-up demand as the threat of the pandemic wanes, Israelis are more likely to seek a certain variety or brand of wine from a specialist retailer for home consumption following a visit to a restaurant.
While food and drink e-commerce is predicted to record further dynamic growth over the forecast period, there is also likely to be a shift to buying in smaller quantities from local independent specialists. Consumers want to buy fresh ingredients from a local neighbourhood grocer, or to purchase wine from a drink specialist as opposed to a supermarket.

Traditional grocery retailing is the aggregation of those channels that are invariably non-chained and are, therefore, owned by families and/or run on an individual basis. For Euromonitor traditional grocery retailing is the aggregation of three channels: Independent Small Grocers, Food/Drink/Tobacco Specialists and Other Grocery Retailers. While there can be modern (i.e. chained) food/drink/tobacco specialists or other grocery retailers, due to the store's presence in the channel, these stores are still considered as traditional for Euromonitor International.
