Grocery shopping in Australia
As of 2023, Woolworths, Coles, and Aldi were the most popular supermarkets among Australian consumers. That same year, New South Wales was home to the highest number of operating supermarkets and grocery stores in Australia, followed by Victoria. Following year-on-year growth since 2004, the annual revenue of supermarkets and grocery stores climbed in 2023. Nonetheless, due to grocery price inflation, consumers are trying to cut back on grocery spending by changing to cheaper brands and shopping during sales. Grocery expenses were named as the most significant contributor to cost of living pressures among consumers across Australia.
