Current market landscape
After unprecedented sales growth in 2020 during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, retailers were challenged by sudden surges in grocery shopping caused by panic buying, shifts in consumer eating to include more in-home cooking, and the rapid adoption of ecommerce for grocery shopping. Consumers continue to evolve with the next normal and are becoming more comfortable shopping in-store for groceries, resulting in a rebound to in-store shopping frequency. Even as in-store remains the preferred channel, the increase in ecommerce persists at more sustainable levels, as omnichannel shopping becomes the norm for many shoppers.
