What’s the forecast for the food and grocery industry?

The food and grocery sector thrived during the pandemic, largely due to the shutdown of the food service industry and the sector’s subsequent necessity, panic-induced bulk purchasing, and spending more time at home. The market has grown as a result of inflation. Consumer unwillingness to go out and socialize, and the reopening of several hospitality facilities, helped maintain the demand for groceries, particularly online, in 2021. As consumer behavior changes, we consume more food and drink at home, and inflation increases basket sizes. GlobalData predicts that the sector will continue to hold a higher share than had been predicted prior to the pandemic. This is true despite the fact that the food and grocery sector's share of overall retail will decline from its peak in 2020. This report will discuss market forecasts and key themes in the global food & grocery industry in 2022 and beyond. It covers:

Market drivers and inhibitors
Five-year forecasts and the impact of COVID-19
The performance of the online channel versus offline
Major trends in the market including rapid delivery, ambient retailing, supply chain disruption, and inflation

Assess developments within this sector to help your business thrive in 2022 and beyond.

Both firms are aiming for a reliable and user-friendly digital package for grocery stores and their customers.

The mobile package combines Bizerba's digital retail scales and FutureProof Retail's mobile software to make shopping easier, faster and better for both shoppers and retailers.

"Bizerba's retail scales technology perfectly compliments our mobile platform, and makes mobile self-scanning uniquely accessible to Bizerba's wide install base."

The new capabilities can be turned on in a majority of Bizerba's retail scales through an update to the PowerScale software. Customers can make use of the Bizerba scales to buy weighted items with mobile self-scanning, as well as order prepared foods.

Retail staff can use their existing scales to fulfill the order, to monitor the store and carry out convenient and secure checkouts.

FutureProof Retail president Di Di Chan said: "Bizerba's retail scales technology perfectly compliments our mobile platform, and makes mobile self-scanning uniquely accessible to Bizerba's wide install base."

Bizerba North America retail vice-president Rob Weisz said: "This integrated technology from FutureProof Retail will revolutionise processes within and outside of the store. Bizerba's retail scales become a multipurpose access point to the FutureProof platform.

"Retail staff can use the scales to monitor the store and also allow customers to check-out."
