Competition from e-commerce and other retail channels is expected to intensify over the forecast period, which is likely to have a negative impact on small local grocers. For instance, e-commerce is expected to offer added benefits such as subscriptions, free shipping, and discounts which is likely to steer more consumers away from small local grocers.
Some of the key trends that are likely to remain a feature of the market over the forecast period include the strong focus on health and wellness, natural products, sustainability, and clean eating. These trends are behind the success of specialist chain Alnatura.
Despite Swiss consumers being quite habitual and traditional, they do appreciate added levels of convenience and value. As such, small local grocers could find some success by focusing on the modernisation of their outlets such as investing in automation, digitisation, and a combination of online and store-based services and features.

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.
