Modern grocery retailing in Japan / [prepared by Mengchao Chen].: A74-3/16-2016E-PDF

“Japan’s grocery retailers experienced a slight sales increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.81% over the 2010 to 2015 period. The total market size remained constant at the third highest in the world after the United States and China. In 2015, approximately 81% of grocery sales occurred within modern grocery retail channels and the remaining 19% within traditional grocery retail. Among modern grocery retailers, supermarkets represented the largest share, accounting for 45.7% of total sales in 2015. The next largest share was held by convenience stores with 34.8%, but this channel was recorded the highest growth at a CAGR of 4.21% from 2010 to 2015. Forecourt stores, which are usually located in a large, flat, open area in front of the building, represent a very small portion of modern grocery retailers in Japan (Euromonitor, International, 2015)”--Executive summary.
