Modern grocery retailers will likely continue to undermine the growth of small local grocers over the forecast period as the demand for modern and convenient approaches to grocery shopping increases. However, small local grocers will likely remain a significant channel due to the proximity of these outlets in local neighbourhoods and the scope of their reach with outlets present in every corner of the country.
The government is seeking to reduce the Kingdom’s dependence on imported foods and other products as part of its Vision 2030 strategy with it looking to become increasingly self-reliant. Hence, small local grocers will likely focus on deals with local suppliers and will look to depend more on local products, with the government likely to support those businesses which follow this route.
Consumer preferences and behaviours will play a crucial role in shaping the future of small local grocers in Saudi Arabia. While some consumers prioritise convenience and price, others value personalised service, unique products, and supporting local businesses.

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.
