Sales are expected to remain relatively sluggish for small local grocers over the forecast period, due to ongoing competition from other retail channels as discussed. The main factors are price points and product availability, in which areas many other retail options are notably stronger.
Holland & Barrett, the leading small local grocer in Ireland, announced a three-year partnership with digital commerce specialist THG Ingenuity in January 2024, which makes THG the main operational partner for H&B's online business in the UK and Ireland. The retailer will likely utilise THG’s automated facilities starting from the second quarter of 2024.
On a positive note, ongoing health and wellbeing trends are likely to maintain consumers’ interest in health food stores over the forecast period. This projection is supported by the moves from Holland & Barrett, including the enhancement of its product portfolio.

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.
