Published on February 2010
Report Summary
Online and internet shopping represents one of the fast growing sectors within the global food and grocery market at present,
especially across the more developed parts of the world. With household internet access continuing to increase, the customer base
for online grocery shopping is widening, while other technological innovations such as the advent of smart phones is further benefiting
the market.
The global online grocery retailing market is dominated by the UK and the US, which together accounted for almost 75% of the world
total in 2009. At less than 1.5%, however, online and internet channels still account for a very modest share of the global retail
grocery market. Furthermore, food and groceries continue to lag well behind non-food items as far as the online retailing market is
concerned, with consumers using the internet most frequently for booking travel and holidays, as well as for financial-related tasks
such as banking.
This new report from just-food looks at the major markets' adoption of online grocery retail, current trends within the sector, and
consumer dynamics. It also profiles the major food retail groups' online strategies and it forecasts the markets, trends, technological
activity and corporate plans.
Use this report as a background guide to understanding the overall market, to help analyse the global market and to predict future
trends and market sizes.
Beginning with an executive summary/preface and Chapter 1 Introduction, the report then reviews the global market for online grocery
retailing.
Chapter 2 Global market overview
The global market for online grocery retailing remains at a relatively early stage of development in many parts of the world. To date,
sales of food and drinks over the internet have yet to make the same impact observed in other parts of the consumer goods industry,
most notably books, clothing and electronic items such as computer equipment.
Global sales of food and drinks online were valued at US$19.9bn in 2009. This figure is limited to countries where a quantifiable
market exists, all of which are mainly located in either Western Europe or North America. A truly global figure is thought to lie
somewhere between US$20bn and US$30bn.
This chapter includes data covering the major online food and drinks markets worldwide by value, and per capita expenditure by
market.
It also provides UK and US online food and drinks markets by value over the last five years, showing % of total market each year,
which trends how online's share of the market has changed.

economic recession has altered ways in which people shop for groceries, while ongoing technological developments continue to
affect the strategy of many leading operators within the e-commerce sector (eg: Tesco's iPhone wine app, which provides product
information such as price and tasting notes).
This chapter looks at the impact of the recession, ethical consumerism, technological influences, seasonal demand, and EC
proposals - all key trends that will continue to shape demand for online retail.
Chapter 4 Consumer dynamics
Although penetration levels have widened during the last decade, making purchases over the internet is still heaviest among society's
more affluent consumers, since a computer and modem are required to carry out the transaction, as well as either a debit or credit
card. It is mainly for this reason that online grocery shopping tends to increase with social grade.
This chapter looks at internet usage trends by region, consumer attitudes and buying behaviour.
Chapter 5 Major retail groups
The supply structure for the online grocery retailing market differs throughout the world according to region. In the UK and Europe, the
leading suppliers are the major food retail groups, whose profile and brands are already familiar to shoppers. As far as the major
supermarket groups are concerned, online and internet shopping enables them to gain easy access to their customers, offering a
wide range of items (both food and non-food) that shoppers might not have time to peruse in store.
Here, the major international retailers are profiled, with commentary on each company's online grocery retail developments. Profiled
are: Wal-Mart Inc, Safeway Inc, Royal Ahold, Tesco plc, Carrefour, Groupe Auchan, J Sainsbury plc, Amazon, Coborn's Inc,
FreshDirect, MarketDay Coporation and Waitrose.
Chapter 6 The future
As the next decade progresses, countries such as the UK, the US and some of the Western European nations are expected to retain
their dominance of the global online grocery retailing market. Nevertheless, increasing household penetration of both internet and
broadband throughout many parts of the world are expected to increase the consumer base and therefore make grocery shopping via
the internet a more common practice for the global population.
Opinions regarding the future direction of the market vary widely at present. We present our analysis and estimates from considering
the many predictions.
The report concludes with just-food's forecast for the UK and US online food and drinks market (by value) from 2009 to 2014. Plus,
we look at other major markets and factors that will influence future development of the market including: continued technological
advancements, and likely short-term corporate activity.
