U.S. consumers were asked how much money they spent on average on groceries per week. The findings present that U.S. households' weekly grocery expenditure amounted to about 165 U.S. dollars in 2024. Between 2019 and 2024, the average weekly expenditure grew exponentially, favored by the pandemic first and inflation after.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for food is a component of the all-items CPI. The CPI measures the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a representative market basket of consumer goods and services. While the all-items CPI measures the price changes for all consumer goods and services, including food, the CPI for food measures the changes in the retail prices of food items only.This record was taken from the USDA Enterprise Data Inventory that feeds into the https://data.gov catalog.

Supermarket giant the Woolworths Group had the highest presence across Australia’s leading supermarket and convenience store chains as of January 2025, with around 2,230 locations across its network, including Woolworths Supermarkets, Ampol Woolworths, and EG Ampol locations. Its grocery retail rival, the Coles Group, came in second, with over 1,530 locations nationwide, encompassing Coles Supermarkets and Coles Express. American convenience store chain 7-Eleven also makes its mark, with an extensive number of stores in Australia. European supermarkets, Aldi and Spar, have also expanded their networks over the past two decades, slowly eating away at Woolworths, Coles, and Metcash’s grocery retail market share. ACCC investigates Australia’s grocery retail market Australia’s supermarket scene is oligopolistic; the top four companies, Woolworths, Coles, Metcash (IGA), and Aldi control over 80 percent of the country’s grocery retail market share, with around 65 percent held by Woolworths and Coles alone. In 2024, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) began its inquiry into the country’s supermarket sector to review pricing and competitive practices following price gouging allegations against Australia’s leading grocery retailers. Alongside the ACCC investigation, consumer advocacy group CHOICE started to create government-funded price transparency and comparison reports, such as average grocery basket price evaluations, to deliver in-depth insights to customers to help them save money amid excessive price increases. How have Australia’s consumers responded to grocery price inflation? According to a 2024 survey, around 58 percent of Australian consumers perceive the pricing of groceries and related products as unfair, with almost seven in 10 expressing that they felt these products had continued to become costlier since 2023. Convenience, familiarity with a particular store’s layout, and collecting reward points were the key reasons to shop exclusively at a supermarket chain among Australian consumers in a 2023 survey. Nonetheless, as grocery costs across the country climb, several consumers' grocery retailer loyalties are being tested. Consumers increasingly shop across various stores or switch to a different supermarket chain to save money and take advantage of price promotions.

The average cost of a shopping basket, consisting of 55 items, was the lowest at the German discounter Aldi, and amounted to 97.89 British pounds as of November 2024. It was over 25 pounds cheaper than the corresponding range of goods at Waitrose. Below that, the second most expensive basket was the one offered by Ocaco, an online supermarket operating in the UK. The UK grocery market In 2021, the entire grocery market of the United Kingdom was worth 211.9 billion British pounds. This figure was forecast to increase to over 241 billion British pounds by 2027. Grocery stores Supermarkets are the most profitable store form currently in the UK. Sales generated by supermarkets came to around 91 billion pounds. In comparison, discounters made close to 28 billion in sales, while the online channel accounted for around 22 billion. Sainsbury’s operated 597 supermarkets at the end of the 2023/24 financial year and another 834 convenience stores.

Supermarkets and grocery store outcomes have been a tale of dealing with volatile prices at their purchase and sales points. The continued expansion of Aldi and Amazon has forced the two established industry giants, Woolworths and Coles, to remain price-competitive on both the physical store and online service fronts. To differentiate themselves from low-cost supermarkets, Coles and Woolworths have leant into attracting customers with convenient locations and expanded online shopping capabilities. These supermarket giants also rely on loyalty programs and promotions. Coles and Woolworths have displayed interest in data analytics, strengthening their relationships with analytics firms like Palantir to optimise their marketing and operational processes. The ACCC and Treasury have taken the lead on addressing supplier and customer concerns relating to deceptive discounting practices and supplier contract bargaining exploitation. Supermarket and grocer revenue rose significantly following the COVID-19 outbreak. Household expenditure shifted towards retail industries amid restrictions on many services industries, with this imbalance remaining as high costs limit eating out. A combination of panic buying, along with the suspension of many specials and promotions in supermarkets, boosted grocery turnover at the beginning of the period, spiking revenue for 2019-20. This high benchmark at the start of the period has resulted in an industry correction and an annualised revenue decline of 0.6% to $148.7 billion over the five years to 2024-25. However, stores have largely managed to pass on upstream costs to customers, steadying their profit margins while suppliers and consumers bear the brunt of inflation-driven costs. Revenue is estimated to climb by 0.2% in 2024-25, reflecting the price-driven industry growth more indicative of the overall revenue trend that was drowned out by the pandemic revenue spike and correction. Supermarkets and grocery stores are set to continue performing well with industry revenue slated to climb at an annualised 0.4% over the five years through 2029-30 to $142.8 billion. Population growth and stubborn inflationary pressures, despite rate hikes, are set to keep store prices inching upwards. The results of the Treasury and the ACCC's investigations will shine a light on new regulations and potential penalties in store for large supermarkets. Eventually, when inflationary pressures subside and consumer sentiment returns to a positive level, supermarkets and grocers will be well-positioned to take advantage of consumer appetite for value-added and premium goods. Strong growth in online sales is set to continue.

European supermarkets’ revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 4.5% over the five years through 2024 to reach €1.6 trillion. A handful of supermarkets dominate each country, with the only new entrants being well-established supermarkets looking to expand to new regions – independents struggle to grab market share from the well-entrenched stores. Soaring operating costs, driven by purchase price and wage, are eating into the profitability of supermarkets. For many supermarket executives, scaling e-commerce operations has taken a backseat as they seek to combat falling sales volumes and downtrading, with customers foregoing brands for value or own-brand products. Consumer preferences for organic produce and premium products have also been sidelined during the cost-of-living as customers tighten their purse strings. Price inflation is expected to push revenue up by 2.6% in 2024. Over the five years through 2029, supermarkets’ revenue is slated to climb at a compound annual rate of 0.9% to €1.6 trillion. As disposable incomes recover from the cost-of-living crisis, consumers will switch back to organic and premium produce will return and demand for convenient shopping experiences will intensify. Expanding e-commerce offerings will be central to many supermarkets’ strategies as they look to widen their sales channels. Investment will be required to fully automate warehouse procedures, such as with automated picking and depalletising, as will decarbonising fleets. Advances in analytics, Generative AI and automation will help minimise costs in what is already a tight operating model for many grocery retailers, giving some relief to profitability. Sustainability will move to the forefront of supermarkets’ decision-making process when they select new suppliers as green concerns continue to mount.
