Due to the ongoing expansion of convenience stores, small local grocers are estimated to be on a downward trend for store numbers. Meanwhile, retail value is set to remain positive but marginal, as high prices will continue to grow, especially across the earlier forecast period.
There is set to be accelerated penetration of convenience stores in areas traditionally dominated by small local grocers, such as the countryside and small and medium cities. This will make small local grocers reconsider their independent status to affiliate as franchisees, with chains such as La Doi Pasi and CBA rising.
Across the early forecast period, Romanians are likely to be further impacted by the rising cost of living and consequently, their purchasing power is set to weaken, trends which are likely to influence where they shop for essential groceries, amongst other items. This scenario will threaten small local grocery businesses as they will struggle to compete effectively with the likes of modern channels such as convenience stores, discounters, and supermarkets with their economies of scale, private label ranges, and more established online presence.

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.
