Despite waning inflationary pressures, small local grocers are likely to continue see a negative performance over the forecast period, in terms of both current value and number of outlets. The main factor behind this trend will be the high drop-out rate of independent players.
As the economy improves, however, Belgians will become less conservative about spending money on higher quality products and this is likely to benefit outlets and concepts with a premium positioning, including chocolate retailers, such as Léonidas and Pierre Marcolini, and small local grocers specialising in organic products. Hybrid concepts, such as Déli, which bridge foodservice and grocery retailing, are also likely to see renewed dynamism.
To compete with modern grocery retailers, small local grocers are likely to increase their online presence over the forecast period. In particular, the rapid development of third party rapid delivery platforms, such as Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Takeaway.

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.
