Report Overview
The global grocery market size was valued at USD 4.05 Trillion in 2025. The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.70% during the forecast period of 2026-2035 to reach a value of USD 6.41 Trillion by 2035. Ongoing store network expansion and format conversions are strengthening market penetration.
Market growth is also assisted by assortment localization and private label premiumization, which are very influential on purchasing behavior. Retailers are customizing their product mixes according to local consumption patterns, dietary preferences, and cultural needs. At the same time, they are upgrading their premium private label ranges in the organic and clean label categories to increase their margins and reinforce their differentiation in the competitive grocery environments.
Growth in the grocery industry worldwide is still largely driven by the opening of new physical stores, closely followed by changes in the store format and acquisitions of local markets. New store openings give retailers the opportunity to reach new customers and get closer to the customer at the last mile, whereas conversion and acquisition of stores allow faster growth with an already loyal customer base. Additionally, these move treasuries strengthen the regional dominance of grocery players, help satisfy omnichannel fulfilment demand and are a good response to price- and convenience-driven consumers.
In January 2026, prominent retailer Aldi expanded across the United States by opening 180 new stores in 31 states as part of its long-term growth strategy. The planned expansion is meant to bring to Aldi's customers' doorsteps their value for money offer and to tap into high-growth grocery corridors, thereby improving the overall accessibility of the stores. Rouses Markets, on the other hand, in January 2026, turned 10 former Winn-Dixie stores in Louisiana and Mississippi into Rouses stores, thus gaining quick market entry without disturbing the local shopping familiarity through the less risky way of conversion of stores.
