Discussion

I chose the ‘online grocery industry’ which is currently dominated by key players Amazon, Kroger, Target, and Walmart. During my research, I learned that online grocery business is currently very promising because it’s fast exploding due to increasing demand for convenience (Parag Desai, 2017). Rather than physically visiting grocery stores, most consumers now prefer to order groceries online and have them delivered at their doorstep. According to a forecast by Nielsen Company, by 2022, US online grocery business will be worth $100 billion (Goldmanis, 2013). Currently, at least a third of consumers are buying groceries online, and given that these are necessary items in every household, this industry provides an opportunity to start and grow a business. Currently, the industry is growing at an annual rate of 15-30%, especially the food and beverages segment (Christa Hart, 2017). Amazon currently dominates the online market place, and its market share is twice its close competitors. The company is growing at a fast rate, and controls nearly 5% of US retail market. In future, Amazon is expected to experience a steady growth and gain a larger market share (Statista, 2016).

The online grocery industry attracts a lot of risks because reputation and customer trust is key. Customers need to trust the business in terms of quality of products as well as security of the private information they provide, including their credit card information. In the recent past, there has been several information security cases affecting key players including Target and Walmart. Customer behavior and trends in this market are also fast changing, hence the industry players have to be agile and keep up with innovations in order to remain relevant.
