Data and insights to keep up
with the grocery industry

State of Grocery 2023

Tighter economic conditions have persisted throughout 2023, affecting all parts of the grocery landscape. "Innovation" remains key to success for both retailers and brands — though it looks different from retailer to retailer, location to location, and brand to brand. Increased consumer demand for personalization, better-for-you products, transparency, and speed is not going anywhere. Coupled with increasing demand for value and affordability in an inflationary environment, these permanent changes pose a challenge for the industry, which has relied on external capital for change in recent years. Those players that can rise to the challenge will create a new era that can sustain the shift in demand for the long term.
