Global Grocery Stores Market to Reach US $ 4.9 Trillion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.











San Jose, CA (PRWEB) January 23, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn – Worldwide grocery retail industry witnessed several trends that are anticipated to shape future growth patterns of the market. Introduction of the new retail formats (such as superstores), improvement in customer service and store design, incorporation of innovative technologies, and focus on selling ethnic and organic products are some of the trends witnessed in the industry. Although the demand for basic grocery supplies remains unaffected by the economic fluctuations, premium/luxury food products are extremely vulnerable to the changing price dynamics. Also, general economic conditions play a critical role in determining the consumer’s ability to spend on products – both basic and luxury. Consumers’ disposable income is a major factor affecting the prospects of the global retail industry, particularly in case of premium products.

Food and groceries constitute an overwhelming proportion of merchandise sold globally through supermarkets. This inventory stocking phenomenon is especially pronounced in the industrialized and developed countries, where supermarkets have transformed into harbingers of food security and quality. In response to the growing competitiveness of the market, large-scale retailers are devising new strategies (home meal replacements along with non-conventional services) to distinguish themselves from conventional grocery outlets and restaurants. On the other hand, Grocery Stores are looking to consolidate their market presence by offering new services such as home delivery. Several large-scale grocery stores are also offering conveniences like in-store pharmacies as part of their efforts to generate higher profits and attract more number of customers.

Online grocery stores constitutes one area of the grocery retail industry that is expected to provide vast opportunities for growth. The Internet is being increasingly employed by retailers to sell grocery products directly to consumers. The concept has gained widespread popularity in the western world, particularly in the US, the UK, and France. Although few retailers provide general information about the store operations, a majority of them are offering full-range of online grocery services through the Internet. Although the segment faced initial hurdles in several countries, including the US, the segment is expected to post major gains across the world, with several leading companies focusing on promoting their online businesses.

Retailers from the emerging markets, such as Asia-Pacific and Latin America, are witnessing the fastest growth in the global grocery stores market. Such retailers are expected to continue registering rapid growth, driven by their aggressive expansion into neighboring countries.

The benefits to the restaurant chain of using Native Custom Stone’s stone veneer products are extensive.

The wide variety of synthetic stone products enables it to be used in any area of the country and blend in with other stone structures. In addition, they come in many natural stone colors so they can be combined with natural stone on projects to look beautiful and adhere to almost any surface.

Native Custom Stone manufactures all its synthetic stone products at their production facility in Dawsonville, Georgia. They carry inventory of all their products onsite enabling immediate shipment for relatively modest orders, however, for large orders they will manufacture and ship the order within 7 days. All of Native Custom Stone’s manufactured stone products are affordable, durable and fully warranted. In addition, since the products are just like stone they are virtually maintenance free and have fire ratings the same as natural stone. Native Custom Stone provides superior sales and service for all their customers.

Billy Bennett owner of Native Custom Stone discussed the contract and the business objectives behind the company’s new website. “It is great to have a a major restaurant chain select us to provide our Faux Stone products for their new construction. Regarding our new website, it is really important that we get our message to our existing and new customers about our synthetic stone products and accessories.
