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.

The respondent's thoughts about the social dimension of the EC were explored by questions that asked whether the respondent thought the "Community Charter of Fundamental Social Rights" was a good thing, and what policy areas the respondent would favor or disfavor for inclusion in the charter. On matters concerning changes in Eastern Europe, respondents were asked how much they agreed with several proposals for how the EC could best respond to the changes, and which was more important--the Single European Market, the unification of the two German states, or the unification of Western and Eastern Europe. Other questions asked how threatening fascists and communists were to the respondent's country's way of life and whether the respondent agreed with statements detailing the level of participation of fascists and communists in the political process. The topic of sports and nationalism was addressed through questions asking whether respondents felt prouder when national sports teams won or when European teams won, whether they would favor Olympic teams from EC countries wearing a European Emblem, and whether the number of foreign "football" (soccer) players on club teams in the EC countries should be limited. The final line of query dealt with nuclear energy and radioactivity, and asked for the respondent's agreement with statements about the production, management, and wastes of nuclear power, how satisfied the respondent was with the information about radioactivity, and how much the respondent trusted several different sources of information about radioactivity. Demographic and other background information was gathered on number of people residing in the home, size of locality, home ownership, trade union membership, region of residence, and occupation of the head of household, as well as the respondent's age, sex, marital status, education, occupation, work sector, religion, religiosity, subjective social class, left-right political self-placement, and opinion leadership.
