While operators of small local grocers will attempt to survive over the forecast period, the channel is expected to further struggle, especially in the face of growth by modern channels and consumers’ increasing preference for these alternative outlets. The reality is that prices are often higher in small local grocers, for both consumers and owners, making it difficult to compete with the offers of large channels, especially as they continue to invest in private label and loyalty propositions that increase value for money in the eyes of consumers.
Over the forecast period, small local grocers could experience intense competition from discounters. InRetail, the Peruvian operator of discounters that purchased Erbi, a Chilean discounter, could look to expand the brand in a similar way to how it has already grown the Mass banner in Peru, with strong outlet openings and attractive prices.
Small local grocers play a key role in helping to reduce the number of food deserts in Chile, especially in more rural areas, where these outlets act as the only source of staples and other foods for neighbourhoods. Quite often, they also help serve communities that have limited access to varied services.

Small local grocers are mostly independent retail outlets (with a selling space of under 400 square metres), kiosks, market stalls or street vendors, owned by families and/or run on an individual basis, and with a primary focus on selling food/beverages/tobacco and other groceries. Small local grocers also includes ethnic grocery stores that specialize in foreign brands and food types, health food stores, confectioners/newsagents/tobacconists (CTNs), food & drink souvenir stores, legally registered mobile shops that are run out of a truck, and regional specialty stores. Retail sales from farmers markets, farms, vineyards, or similar producers are also included in small local grocers. Outlets located within wet markets in Southeast Asia (often located in government-owned multi-story buildings) should be counted as separate outlets.
