USA: Impact of online grocery shopping on cold storage demand
2018-06-09
According to a report published by the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) and Nielsen, online grocery sales in the United States currently represent USD 19 billion, or 3% of total grocery sales, a rather small figure. This figure should grow in the next few years, since online grocery sales are poised to reach USD 100 billion by 2025, or 13% of total grocery sales. The report estimates that 70% of consumers will be grocery shopping online by 2025.
