Extract from this report

  • As of end-2011, 12 players operated over 1,150 hypermarkets in Central Europe, that is nearly 13 per million inhabitants. In other words, one hypermarket serves on average close to 80,000 inhabitants. Slovakia and the Czech Republic are the most saturated CE markets.
  • Slightly more than a half of an entire grocery market in Central Europe is provided by hypermarkets, supermarkets and discount stores, so-called large-format channels.
  • Among the CE countries analysed, the highest per capita GDP figure is still that of the Czech Republic – this stands at approximately €14,700. At the opposite end of the scale there are Bulgaria and Romania, where GDP per capita is over two times lower. On the other hand, these two countries, as well as Poland improved most significantly over the last three years.

Market commentary by expert

Instability in the economic environment continues to impact the grocery retail markets in the Central European region, representing significant challenges in all of the Central European countries. In most CE countries,  rising prices of foodstuffs are the major concern for both customers and retail chains. On the other hand, inflation is often the single dominating contributor to the nominal increase  in market value.
