Hypermarkets are large retail stores that combine groceries and general merchandise. They offer a one-stop shopping experience under one roof. The first modern hypermarket was opened in France in the 1960s. In India, hypermarkets are expected to grow significantly in the coming years. However, they also face challenges in India such as low margins, competition from local stores, and consumer preferences. Compact hypermarkets, which are smaller in size, have emerged as an effective format in India to compete with local stores while providing a modern retail experience.
2. What is a 'Hypermarket‘
• A retail store that combines a department store and a grocery
supermarket.
• Often a vary large establishment, hypermarkets offer a large variety of
products such as appliances, clothing, groceries & FMCG Products.

coined in 1968 by French trade expert Jacques
Pictet

experience. The idea behind this big box store is to
provide consumers with all the goods they require,
under one roof.

Wal-Mart ,Supercenter, Fred Meyer and Super Kmart.
3. The first suburban one-stop shopping center was opened in 1931 in the
Hollywood District of Portland, Oregon. The store's innovations included
a grocery store alongside a drugstore plus off-street parking and an
automobile lubrication and oil service. In 1933, men's and women's wear
was added, and automotive department, housewares, and other nonfood
products followed in succeeding years.
In the mid 1930s, Fred Meyer opened a central bakery, a candy kitchen,
an ice cream plant, and a photo-finishing plant, which supplied the
company's stores in Portland and neighbouring cities with house brands
such as Vita Bee bread, Hocus Pocus desserts, and Fifth Avenue
candies. By the 1950s, Fred Meyer began opening stores that were
45,000 sq ft (4,200 m2) to 70,000 sq ft (6,500 m2), and the 1960s saw

Because of their large footprints, many hypermarkets choose suburban or
out-of-town locations that are easily accessible by automobile. Based on
their consumer availability & accessibility to the market easily they are
located inside the city or outside the city.
5. Size
The average Walmart Supercenter covers around 179,000 square feet
(16,600 m2), with the largest ones covering 260,000 sq ft (24,000 m2).A
typical Carrefour hypermarket still covers 10,000 m2 (110,000 sq ft), while
European trend in the 2000s has rather turned towards smaller
3,000 to 5,000 m2 (32,000 to 54,000 sq ft). In France, INSEE defines
hypermarkets (French: hypermarché/s) as non-specialized markets with a
minimum size of 2,500 m2 (27,000 sq ft).
Business Models
Hypermarkets, like other big-box stores, typically have business models
focusing on high-volume, low-margin sales.
6. Across the countries
In France, hypermarkets are generally situated in shopping centers
(French: centre commercial or centre d'achats) outside of cities, though
some are present in the city center. They are surrounded by extensive car
parking facilities, and generally by other specialized superstores that sell
clothing, sports gear, automotive items, etc.
In Japan, hypermarkets may be found in urban areas as well as less
populated areas. The Japanese government encourages hypermarket
installations, as mutual investment by financial stocks are a common way
to run hypermarkets. Japanese hypermarkets may contain restaurants

8. Challenges
Despite its success, the hypermarket business model may be under threat
from on-line shopping and the shift towards customization according to

also argued that some developing countries such as India may even skip the
hypermarket stage and directly go online
10. • The size and share of hypermarket in Indian retail is expected to increase in the
coming years, in the presence of strong macroeconomic performance,
availability of excellent retail space, encouraging consumption pattern due to
growing personal disposable income, speedy development ofTier II and III cities,

expected to be in the hypermarkets. By 2015, it would be the largest retail
segment, accounting for more than 21 per cent of total retail space and will be
worth $1,011 billion by 2017. In the mall space breakup
in India, hypermarkets come out to be the largest retail segment, accounting for
