Highlights

Leading companies are combating rising transportation, packaging and labour costs, and the loss of custom to Internet shopping by introducing technology such as self-service checkouts, which attract customers through increased convenience and also reduce staff expenditure.
The rise in global obesity levels and a reinvigorated restaurant market combine to impact negatively upon the volume of packaged food sales. Many companies are therefore diversifying into non-food retail, and offering services such as insurance or credit cards.
Online virtual supermarkets form a modest portion of the retail landscape, however online shopping is the fastest growing segment in the food retail sector.
