In 2023, there were 14,545 thousand 7-Eleven outlets in Thailand, indicating an increase from the previous year. 7-Eleven has the highest number of convenience stores in Thailand, operated by CP All Plc.
The convenience store market in Thailand
In contrast to the early 2000s, when hyper- and supermarkets were the leading channels to buy groceries and personal care products, the last ten years saw a sharp increase in convenience stores. In 2023, convenience stores had a higher market share of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) than supermarkets. The leading four brands in this segment are 7-Eleven, Lotus go fresh, and Mini Big C. The need for easy and quick solutions for today’s fast-paced consumers’ needs has generated innovations like fresh coffee stations or cooking stations inside the stores, as well as the possibility to buy mobile phone SIM cards and data packages.
Thailand’s convenience store market leader
Opening its first store in 1988, 7-Eleven was the first convenience store chain in Thailand. It has since become the most popular convenience store chain in the country. Sales for food and beverage still account for around 75 percent of total sales. Since the COVID outbreak, the company shifted its focus to expanding the online business using online applications such as All Online, 24 Shopping, and 7-Eleven Delivery. In total, 7-Eleven has more than 40 million registered users on various platforms like applications, websites, or social media channels.
