The global food and grocery retail market size was valued at USD 10.6 trillion in 2019 and looks set to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9% from 2021 to 2027. Increased disposable income as a result of economic growth has fueled the spending on consumables. Furthermore, an increasing number of middle-class consumers and rising brand consciousness among them have been driving the market for food and grocery retail in developing countries, including India and China. With the increasing use of online shopping platforms, several players in the industry are entering into e-grocery and improving their presence. For instance, Walmart has expanded its online distribution channel and started same-day delivery in 2019. Similarly, Kroger Co has increased its pickup sites for online orders. Additionally, in June 2017, Amazon declared its acquisition of Whole Foods Market Inc. This acquisition has enhanced Amazon’s fresh grocery retail services in new markets. Such initiatives to strengthen the online presence of the competitors have been shaping the buying behavior of the consumers. Price and convenience have a significant impact on a consumer’s choice as these are the two primary concerns of the consumers while purchasing grocery products. As a result, in-store or online price parity influence market growth positively. Furthermore, supermarkets have been arranging special events, such as cookery classes, to increase the footfall and boost consumer engagement. Retail suppliers often partner with brands for such initiatives. For instance, Target Brands, Inc. partnered with Chobani, a Greek yogurt manufacturer, to arrange a yogurt bar inside its retail stores.

Furthermore, the revenue of vendors has jumped up remarkably in the first quarter of 2020. The Kroger Co has announced a 30% increase in identical-store sales in March. The panicked shoppers have been emptying the shelves and putting pressure on the available store staff. As a result, key retail suppliers have started hiring workers to keep up with the demand. For instance, Walmart, Amazon, Dollar General, CVS, and Albertsons are hiring 150,000, 100,000, 50,000, 50,000, and 30,000 employees respectively to serve the consumers.
