Supermarkets top the 2021 ranking of the largest companies in the food industry in the Netherlands. No less than nine out of ten of the leading food companies were food retailers that year, and only in sixth place we find the highest-ranking food delivery company, Thuisbezorgd (part of Just Eat Takeaway). Market leader in the food industry was Albert Heijn, with a revenue of over ten billion euros. This was excluding the revenue from Albert Heijn XL (Alberth Heijn's superstores) and AH.nl, the online delivery platform.
Albert Heijn also market leader in food retail
With a market share of 35.9 percent, Albert Heijn was the largest company active in the food retail market in 2021. Its closest competitors were Jumbo and Lidl, with market shares of 21.8 and 10.7 percent respectively. In total, there were nearly 915 Albert Heijn supermarkets in the Netherlands in 2021.
McDonald‘s tops ranking of food service companies
McDonalds, the leading food service company in the Netherlands, had a revenue of less than one-tenth of Albert Heijn in 2018, at nearly 950 million euros. This was however still significantly higher than other fast food chains as Domino’s Pizza (178.8 million euros) and KFC/YUM! (128.3 million euros) in the same year.
