The
growing popularity of
organic food has helped lift
industry performance
particularly popular among millennials who
are typically more price-sensitive and less
brand-driven shoppers.
Per capita disposable income is expected
to rise an annualized 1.5% over the five
years to 2016. As more Americans returned
to work in the years following the recession,
improving discretionary income allowed
consumers to purchase a variety of grocery
items. Growing health and environmental
concerns have driven consumers to
purchase more all-natural and organic food.
According to research conducted by the
Organic Trade Association, about 75.0% of
consumers purchase organic food because
they believe it is healthier for them than
nonorganic food. Thus, organic and
all-natural product sales have grown
tremendously in a stagnant industry,
increasing 12.0% in 2013 alone, according
to research firm IRI. Consequently, industry
participants have benefited from the sale of
organic goods, which are sourced at similar
prices as nonorganic foods and then priced
at a premium. According to the US
Department of Agriculture, premiums on
organic fruits and vegetables can range
from 30.0% to more than 100.0%. As a

The
competitive landscape
has forced many operators
to compete based on price
increased from 1.1% in 2011 to an expected
1.5% in 2016.
Low profit margins and a highly
competitive market have discouraged
many new companies from entering the
market. Because of this, over the five years
to 2016, enterprise growth has been
sluggish, growing an annualized 0.8% to
42,539 companies. Wage growth has been
similarly sluggish, increasing at an
annualized rate of 1.5% to reach $59.7
billion in 2016. Operators, especially in
large national-scale companies, have been
hesitant to raise wages in order to cut
costs to help struggling profit margins.

While some operators resell their goods
to other retailers, wholesalers and
foodservice establishments, about
99.0% of goods are sold directly to
consumers. Furthermore, when
consumers shop at grocery stores and
supermarkets, they primarily purchase
food and beverage products. However,
several supermarkets and grocery
stores sell other items, such as cleaning
supplies, vitamins and supplements
and personal care products such as face
wash and shampoo. The amount
consumers spend depends on their
income and gender. The following
breakdown of household income
spending patterns was derived from the
US Bureau of Labor Statistics
Consumer Expenditure Survey.

Internal competition
Supermarket and grocery store operators
fiercely compete for the consumers
dollar in an increasingly competitive food
retailing sector. Due to the homogeneous
nature of the goods sold at
supermarkets, industry participants
compete on price by offering discounts
and promotions in addition to customer
loyalty awards. Supermarkets rely on a
large volume of sales with low markups
and offer generic- or store-branded food
items that are less expensive than
branded products to drive sales. Most
stores offer weekly savings on popular
products to entice new consumers.
Other than lower prices, grocery stores
must attract customers with the range
and quality of products they offer.
Industry players who offer an extended
range of goods cater to a larger consumer
