Dublin, Nov. 22, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Online Grocery Shopping in the U.S.: Food Industry Disruptor Series" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

On the cusp of incredible growth, online grocery sales will more than triple by 2022, reaching $41.7 billion and seeing a compound annual growth rate of 27.1%.

Improving trust in perishable selection and expanding service reach are key to developing market share in online grocery sales over the next five years. The two giants driving online grocery sales best exemplify the competition between pickup and delivery models: Amazon is using its extensive Amazon Prime membership to encourage its customers join its delivery bandwagon, while Walmart is working to establish pickup grocery service at almost half of its stores by the end of 2018. Even so, both these retailing giants need to improve consumer trust in perishable selection and delivery to match the trust levels garnered by long-time online grocery incumbents Fresh Direct and Peapod.

Online Grocery Sales Growth to Continue Despite Urban Market Niche

The additional costs that typically go along with online grocery orders, coupled with service area limitation, means that online grocery sales remain anchored in highly urbanized areas, and personal income levels remain the most important demographic indicator for online grocery sales. This will not slow market expansion, however.
