Global Organized Retail Market Analysis

The Organized Retail Market is segmented by product type, ownership, price range, shopping experience, location and region. By product type, the market is segmented into food and grocery, health and beauty products, clothing and footwear, home furnishings and consumer electronics and others. The food and grocery segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022. The high growth of this segment is attributed to factors like growing preference for one-stop shopping experience and increasing demand for fresh & hygienic food products.

These include hypermarkets, supermarkets, department stores, convenience stores, and specialty stores located in malls, high streets or other such places. The organized retail sector provides a seamless shopping experience through clean, air-conditioned and orderly outlets. The market is driven by factors like rising disposable incomes, growing middle class, rapid urbanization and changing lifestyles.

• Increasing awareness about organized retail stores: Organized retail stores refer to a retail business that is run by a registered company and operates in a systematic and planned manner. These stores include supermarkets, hypermarkets, department stores, and specialty stores. They offer a wide range of products and services, and often provide a more comfortable and convenient shopping experience for consumers. According to the United Nations, 68% of the world population is projected to live in urban areas by 2050, up from 55% in 2018. This shift towards urban living is leading to a change in consumer lifestyle and shopping habits, with more people preferring to shop at organized retail stores. Consumers are becoming more aware of the benefits of shopping at organized retail stores, such as a wider product range, better quality control, and improved customer service. This growing awareness is driving more consumers towards organized retail stores. And the advent of technology in the retail sector is also driving the growth of organized retail stores.
• Government Support: Government policies and reforms are helping boost growth of organized retail in countries like India. 100% FDI is now permitted in B2B e-commerce and up to 51% in multi-brand retail. Industrial reforms make it easier for foreign retailers to invest and acquire local chains. Government initiatives like Make in India, Digital India, and Startup India are helping create infrastructure, improve broadband connectivity and digital payments ecosystem - supporting expansion of organized retail. Tax reforms like GST also promote organized trading by removing inter-state barriers

• Increasing use of technologies like AI, IoT, and Analytics: The use of advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and Analytics is transforming the organized retail market. These technologies are helping retailers to improve their operations, provide personalized shopping experiences, and make data-driven decisions. According to a report by Capgemini, 28% of retailers are deploying AI today, up from 17% in 2017. For instance, Walmart uses AI to monitor its inventory and predict which products will be in demand. Amazon uses AI to provide personalized product recommendations to its customers. The integration of physical stores with online platforms, known as omnichannel retail, is another major trend in the organized retail market. According to a report by Harvard Business Review, customers who used multiple channels to shop spent an average of 4% more in-store and 10% more online than single-channel customers. The increasing use of technologies like AI, IoT, and Analytics is driving the growth of the organized retail market. These technologies are enabling retailers to enhance their customer experience, improve their operations, and stay competitive in the market.
• Growth of e-commerce: Brick & mortar retailers are incorporating engaging experiences via cafes, entertainment zones and activity areas to drive footfalls. Apps provide digital coupons, trail maps and prompts for in-store events like new product launches or festive activities. Augmented reality fitting rooms, smart mirrors, interactive displays enhance the shopping experience while collecting customer data. Experiential retail enables retailers to charge premium pricing and build distinctive brand identity. The growth of e-commerce is also driving the growth of mobile commerce or m-commerce.

The global organized retail market is primarily driven by growing consumerism, urbanization, rising disposable incomes and changing lifestyles in developing countries. According to estimates, the global middle class population is expected to exceed 5 billion by 2030. This demographic shift offers a massive customer base for supermarkets and hypermarkets to scale up their operations. However, frequent changes in consumer preferences and shopping behaviors due to rapid digitalization pose major challenges. Moreover, high rentals and real estate costs associated with large format stores restrain expansion. On the other hand, the growing e-commerce wave has created opportunities for retailers to strengthen their omnichannel presence and last-mile delivery networks. Furthermore, the emergence of new retail concepts such as dark stores and robotics-powered fulfillment centers allow better inventory management and customer experience.
