The call comes as Roy Morgan’s Supermarket Grocery Currency Report on long-term market trends shows that this year Australia’s two largest supermarkets captured more than 51 per cent of the $18 billion fresh fruit and vegetable market between them.
Market leader Woolworths Group with a 27.4 per cent share, up 1.3 per cent since 2017 and Coles Group with a 23.9 per cent share, down 0.7 per cent, had a combined share of the fresh fruit and vegetable market larger than all other retail outlets including rival supermarkets Aldi and IGA, fruit shops, markets, other supermarkets and other non-supermarkets combined.
Woolworths enjoyed stronger growth over the past year than rival Coles, who despite increasing their number of buyers in an average seven day period had a decrease in the share of market.
Third largest supermarket Aldi now has a 10.1 per cent share of the fresh fruit and vegetable market, up 0.6 per cent in a year – although all three have taken substantial market share from traditional fruit shops.
Aldi is fast approaching as the third major supermarket group set to overtake fruit shops, which currently account for 15.8 per cent of the market.
