Online Grocery Market Current and Future Demand, Analysis, Growth and Forecast By 2030
The global online
grocery is projected for a massive 23% year-on-year growth for the
online grocery market between 2020 and 2030. In its latest report, FMI studies
the scope for expansion of the market across the globe and examines investment
feasibility in key segments.
Online grocery shopping has been popular among the younger
generation, but the COVID-19 outbreak pulled this novel form of shopping into
the mainstream. Apart from millennials, which account for more than 32% of the
global population, online grocers also witnessed sizable traction from new
customer archetypes. These customer groups were geriatric and sub-urban
consumers. Witnessing traction from such a diverse customer archetype, online
grocers also worked on their offering and expanded the portfolio of products
and inventories
Economists at FMI says that online grocery shopping is one
of the fastest growing sectors in the U.S. retail. As the number of online
shoppers grow it is expected that e-retailers would focus on unique strategies.
For instance, many of established e-retailers are partnering with small and
medium service providers who would help them with door-step delivery to
consumers.
Besides leveraging strategic collaborations,
several e-retailers are innovating smart packaging solutions to improve overall
purchase experience. QR codes are often used to offer special discounts and
coupons to customers.
Overall, there is increasing focus on digitizing solutions
to cater to the changing consumer needs. For instance, Amazon.Com Inc. has
invested heavily in the development of its integrated and high-tech logistics.
Through this, it intends to expand its network and geographical footprint.
With several innovations and technological developments
underway, the online grocery market is poised to surge exponentially in the
near future.
COVID-19 Outbreak Ushered a New Dawn for Online Shopping
COVID-19 outbreak has ushered a new era for online shopping.
The unprecedented spread of the virus brought about several changes in consumer
behavior. There is at least one spending shift that is bound to stick around
even after coronavirus passes: buying grocery online.
The U.S., China, and India exhibit a high demand for
groceries. Instant gratification has remained the unique selling proposition
(USP) of brick and mortar stores, giving them an edge against online shopping.
The table has however turned in favor of online grocery.
Stay-at-home orders have affected just over 300 million
Americans, changing their retail habits forever. In the wake of COVID-19
pandemic, daily ecommerce sales nearly doubled itself between March and April.
Grim sales outlook following the COVID-19 outbreak and
onslaught brought about by ecommerce behemoths have compelled even the most
formidable brands to rethink their strategies.
Target and Walmart are two retailers holding themselves up
against the perils brought about by the pandemic. Both had realized that online
grocery was the key to avoid further wounds by Amazon.com a long ago.
Accordingly, they invested in improving their online presence.
This robust uptake of online grocery shopping among
consumers is not a phrase rather experts believe this could might as well be a
reflection of permanent change in consumer behavior.
