Supermarkets and grocery stores have significantly transformed in recent years, driven by technological advancements and shifting consumer preferences. E-commerce has become a cornerstone of the industry, with over 70.0% of grocery retailers integrating online ordering and fulfillment into their operations in 2025. This shift has been fueled by consumer demand for convenience and efficient shopping experiences, prompting retailers to invest heavily in curbside pickup and home delivery services. Major players like Kroger have leveraged these innovations to maintain a competitive edge, while third-party delivery platforms like Instacart have enabled smaller grocers to compete with larger chains. The adoption of "dark stores" and AI-driven technologies has further optimized operations but heightened competition has limited revenue expansion. Over the past five years, revenue has been slipping at a CAGR of 0.1%, reversing course in 2025 to climb 1.1%, reaching $883.1 million. Over the past five years, the industry has faced rising labor costs and competition from discount grocers and private-label products. Automation has played a crucial role in managing these pressures, with more than 50.0% of transactions in major chains processed through self-checkout systems in 2025. Despite these advancements, wages have continued to rise, accounting for an estimated 10.7% of revenue. This has led retailers to focus on strategic pricing and the promotion of high-margin private-label products to sustain profit. The proliferation of discount grocers like Aldi and Lidl has intensified competition, forcing traditional supermarkets to innovate and adapt to retain market share. Looking ahead, supermarkets and grocery stores are likely to endure steady but marginal revenue growth over the next five years, influenced by economic and demographic factors. Increases in per capita disposable income and consumer spending suggest a stable economic environment that could bolster sales of premium and specialty grocery items. However, declines in the agricultural price index may pressure revenue growth, as lower prices could reduce sales value. Urban population growth will continue to drive demand for grocery products, encouraging retailers to adopt urban-centric strategies. Upcoming FDA regulations on product labeling and ongoing geopolitical tensions will present challenges and opportunities for the industry. Retailers that can navigate these complexities and align with evolving consumer preferences, such as the rise of functional foods and the "quiet luxury" trend, will be well-positioned to thrive in a rapidly changing market landscape. Revenue is anticipated to expand marginally over the next five years at a CAGR of less than 0.1%, totaling $883.3 million in 2030.

Grocery wholesalers act as a middleman between food producers and retailers. Improving per capita disposable income has allowed consumers to trade up to more expensive options at grocery stores or switch to dining out. Grocery wholesalers benefit either way as they distribute products to both markets. However, the growing trend of eliminating the middleman has pressured revenue expansion during the period. Still, grocery wholesalers' revenue shrunk at an estimated 1.7% CAGR to $298.2 billion over the past five years, including an anticipated 0.8% gain in 2025 alone. Although grocery wholesalers have a moderate market share concentration, businesses vary in size depending on their target market and geographical scope. The disproportionate size of grocery wholesalers has contributed to industry consolidation over the past decade as large wholesalers constantly seek new inorganic expansion opportunities. Grocery wholesalers' profit is also susceptible to change depending on the size of an organization and relevant industry prices such as produce and fuel. During the five years, significant disruptions in the supply chain and increases in the price of gas and energy pushed up transportation costs and contributed to decreasing profit. Over the next five years, grocery wholesalers' revenue expansion is anticipated to expand. The industry will be impacted by strengthened economic uncertainty and changes in downstream consumer preferences. Recent hikes in inflation will negatively impact grocery wholesalers' performance as consumers are forced to change their purchasing habits to manage expenses. However, growing per capita disposable income and a boost in the number of households will drive industry expansion. Moreover, agricultural product prices are expected to dwindle during the same period. Also, rising demand for specialized goods will lead smaller companies to carve out niche markets, supplying locally produced foods, ethnic foods and specialty imported foods. As a result, industry revenue will climb at an expected CAGR of 0.4% over the next five years to reach $303.6 billion in 2030.

Online grocery sales have surged as online shopping has shot up. The surge in the popularity of online shopping, along with an increase in per capita disposable income and consumer spending, contributed to significant revenue growth for the industry. Overall, industry revenue will climb at a CAGR of 16.3% over the five years to 2024 to reach an estimated $43.3 billion in 2024, including expected growth of 4.3% in 2024. Over the past five years, strengthening incomes and climbing food prices have benefited online grocery sales. Sensing heightened demand for internet-based delivery services, major companies like Amazon and Walmart have scaled up their industry-relevant operations and captured much of this rising demand. Meanwhile, a new group of highly focused online grocers, including Door-to-Door Organics, have targeted niche markets across the United States by selling organic and other specialty groceries online. Moving forward, online grocery services will continue to enjoy revenue growth through the end of 2029, though at a muted pace when compared to the previous five years. Competition from brick-and-mortar grocery stores will continue to pressure the industry as many consumers prefer to shop for groceries, specifically produce, in person to assess the quality. Online grocers will invest in advanced technology to attempt to strengthen operational efficiency and reduce consumer hesitations. The use of drones for delivery and virtual reality will be key trends over the next five years. Price competitiveness will also climb, contributing to declining profit. Over the five years to 2029, industry revenue will expand at a CAGR of 3.5% to reach an estimated $51.5 billion in 2029.

While specific regional breakdowns are not provided comprehensively, the data suggests that North America and Europe are likely to hold significant market shares, driven by established consumer bases and high per capita consumption. However, growing economies in the Asia-Pacific region present promising opportunities for future growth.

Potential restraints might include price fluctuations in walnut raw materials and competition from other nuts and snacks. Despite these potential headwinds, the long-term outlook for the processed walnuts market remains positive.
