Market share of grocery stores and supermarkets in Australia 

  The market share of Australia’s supermarket and grocery retailers is dominated by two key players – Woolworths Group and Coles Group. New South Wales and Victoria, Australia’s two most populous states, are home to the greatest number of supermarkets in the country. There are, however, a wide range of other grocery stores in Australia, including German supermarket chain Aldi, and independently owned IGA stores.  

Why do Australians shop where they shop?

Australian shoppers have indicated key drivers for remaining loyal to their supermarket of choice, with many naming pure convenience as a leading factor. Fittingly, a significant share of shoppers reported that they may change where they shop for groceries if a new or alternative supermarket becomes more convenient to them.
