Despite supermarkets dominating value sales within Australian grocery retailers, small local grocers offer a point of differentiation to consumers which they cannot find at a major retailer. Although operators of supermarkets are trying to stock imported goods to create a more complete shopping environment for consumers, limited shelf space means they often unable to offer a wide selection.
The recent cost-of-living crisis has resulted in a marginal shift in how some consumers perceive leading grocery retailers in Australia. With household budgets tightening and consumers struggling towards the end of the review period, many of the major grocery retailers still reported significant growth and solid profits.
The growth of e-commerce is a worrying trend for small local grocers as it gives the major supermarket chains an even larger advantage than they already enjoy. For logistical and cost reasons, it is difficult, sometimes impossible, for independent operators to be able to distribute their products through an online channel.

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.
