GROCERY INNOVATION
THE WORLD AT
OUR DOORSTEP
Drastic change and transformation in grocery is happening all over the
world. How will it impact the Canadian market, and how will consumers
react to changes in their local grocery aisles?
BY R ANDY SCOTLAND
OLIVER Wyman, the influential global management consulting firm, reaches an explosive conclusion in its recent study
of the European supermarket sector that could have tsunamiforce repercussions for retailers on this side of the Atlantic.
"As well as a saturated marketplace, there is increasing
competition from discounters and newer online retailers like
AmazonFresh," the study ominously titled The Endgame in
European Grocery asserts. "In response, we believe that the
European grocery market will begin consolidating internationally so that, by 2025, the total number of large grocers in Europe will have halved."

explore those best practices and offerings from
other markets and bring them to Canada to make
sure they are serving the Canadian consumer."
To further explore the dynamics of a grocery sector in dramatic transition, both here
and abroad, Canadian Retailer talked to Frederic Thomas-Dupuis, the Montreal-based Partner and Co-Leader of Oliver Wyman's Retail
& Consumer Practice in North America, and
speaker at RCC's STORE 2016 conference.
