Hypermarkets Rank Top for Sales of Food Products
In 2018, 65% of food products were sold by large food retailers (hyper and supermarkets). However, their market share has fallen since 2010 in favour of retail sale via mail order houses or via Internet.
Non-food products are mainly sold by specialised stores. Hypermarkets have lost ground in this segment, with supermarkets and retail sale via mail order houses or via Internet gaining ground. Sales of clothes in hypermarkets have been declining since 2010, while specialty stores continue to perform strongly.
