Charts: Online Grocery Delivery Trends

Online shopping could account for up to 30% of the grocery market in some European countries, notably the U.K., France, and The Netherlands. That’s according to a March 2022 report by McKinsey & Company titled, “The next S-curve of growth: Online grocery to 2030.”

The report included the results of a 2022 McKinsey survey of European consumers. Most respondents anticipate the continued use of online grocery delivery services at roughly the same frequency as 2021. The results vary by nation, but in advanced online markets such as the U.K., France, and The Netherlands, consumers want to shop online more.

According to Sylvain Perrier, president and CEO of Mercatus, “When it comes to pickup, linking order staging readiness with geolocation notifications triggered automatically by the retailer’s branded mobile app is an effective way to streamline the experience. Shorter wait times at pickup will go a long way to encouraging repeat customer behavior.”
