Small local grocers is set to remain in a slump over the forecast period, due to the same ongoing challenges which the category currently faces. Indeed, as competition from other channels intensifies and larger groups invest in proximity and ultra-proximity formats, other styles of retailers will continue to draw custom away from small local grocers.
Small local grocers do maintain some potentially competitive advantages, namely, the availability of fresh produce and the benefit of personalisation. Such stores tend to focus on fresh, good quality, local produce, which is a benefit covered by convenience stores in main, and with supermarkets only covering this area to a smaller degree with dedicated produce sections.
The retail landscape for small businesses in Portugal is undergoing significant change, with e-commerce becoming key for growth and competitive advantages. Therefore, e-commerce could also offer a lifeline for small local grocers who may be struggling without the offer of an omnichannel strategy.

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.
