Supermarket Foodservice

Supermarket foodservice is a strategic priority for grocers looking to driving incremental revenue and differentiate themselves in the competitive market. Despite rapid growth in the supermarket foodservice channel, COVID-19 has created new obstacles for grocers and grocery stores.

Since 2003, Technomic has been providing a strategic deep dive into the channel, uncovering market sizing, supermarket program offerings and consumer insights, with the Supermarket Foodservice Multi Client Study. The 2022 study uncovers COVID-19’s long-term impact on the channel, as well as a time-series analysis detailing changes in performance and practices over time.
