European supermarkets’ revenue is forecast to inch upwards at a compound annual rate of 0.6% over the five years through 2025 to reach €1.7 trillion. European supermarkets face intense price competition amid lingering cost pressures. Though EU food inflation stabilised at 2.7% in April 2025 according to Eurostat, consumer focus on value remains high. Discounters like Aldi and Lidl continue to gain share as shoppers seek lower prices. Supermarkets are investing heavily in price-matching schemes, though sustaining these is financially challenging. Tesco and Sainsbury’s have begun scaling back such initiatives, while Asda has abandoned its price match strategy. Private label growth is reshaping the sector, with sales reaching €352 billion in 2024, the Private Label Manufacturers Association (PLMA) notes. Retailers are diversifying these ranges to balance value, quality and margins. Smarter product mixes are emerging as retailers prioritise local sourcing and premium niches to build loyalty. Strategies like Sainsbury’s ‘Supporting British’ and Mercadona’s local sourcing model resonate with values-driven shoppers. Loyalty programmes have become a strategic pillar, offering personalisation and margin-friendly growth. Programmes like Tesco Clubcard and Carrefour+ drive retention and profitability beyond price wars. Finally, rising labour costs add further pressure. Recent minimum wage increases across Europe have prompted supermarkets to pursue automation, cost savings, and operational efficiencies to protect profitability in an evolving retail landscape. In 2025, revenue is expected to grow at 0.9%, while profit is expected to reach 5.2%, a minor drop from 5.6% in 2020, thanks to intense price competition. Over the five years through 2030, supermarkets’ revenue is slated to climb at a compound annual rate of 2.9% to €2 trillion. Private label growth remains a structural trend while health, convenience and on-the-go meals are driving new demand, particularly among younger shoppers. Supermarkets must diversify their ranges to capture this growth, blending value, quality and functionality. Convenience is also fuelling an ongoing channel shift. Online grocery sales remain, with consumers willing to pay premiums for faster delivery. Retailers are scaling up e-commerce, partnering with delivery apps and innovating store formats to meet demand for flexibility. Smaller urban stores, hybrid models and grocerants are gaining traction. Supermarkets are accelerating investment in automation and AI to boost efficiency and margins. Personalised loyalty schemes are driving customer retention, while automation in warehouses and stores enhances productivity. Trials in drone delivery and robotic shelf scanning signal further innovation. Consolidation and integration are key to navigating sustained margin pressure. Larger grocers are pursuing M&A and pan-European alliances to drive scale, while moving upstream into food production for resilience. Supermarkets that adapt rapidly – blending private labels, convenience, technology and scale – will outperform in Europe’s increasingly competitive grocery landscape.

Stalls and markets’ industry revenue across Europe is anticipated to contract at a compound annual rate of 2.2% to €39.7 billion over the five years through 2025. The owner-operator nature of the industry and the small size of stalls mean that no companies have any substantial scale and instead operate from one stall. This does cap revenue due to limited expansion opportunities and stalls that are the most successful tend to open shops or restaurants. Stalls and markets experience some seasonal demand spikes. At Christmas time, visiting stalls across Europe is a festive tradition for many people which boost sales and revenue. High inflation because of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the COVID-19 outbreak skyrocketed the price of food and beverages in 2023 and prices of food remain high in 2025. Markets across Europe have raised their prices to pass on extra supply costs to their customers, but disposable income has fallen so people are spending less in markets. Revenue is anticipated to contract by 1.1% in 2025. Profit depends largely on the type of goods that each stall sells and is set to be 16.8% in 2025. Revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 3.1% to €46.3 billion over the five years through 2030. Demand for food markets especially is set to grow since customers across Europe are looking for sustainably sourced, organic and local products since health consciousness and environmental awareness is building. Markets will innovate by introducing delivery services to garner more local community support. Social media will also continue to be asset to markets looking to drive up sales since it lures more customers.
