Safely selling groceries over the Internet? It's possible!

Pandemic and grocery shopping

In 2022, the sale of food via the Internet recorded a sharp increase. This was undoubtedly influenced by the Covid-19 pandemic, which in the initial phase caused fears, especially related to access to food and the security of its supply.

Empty shelves in stores were the norm, and you had to wait up to several days for the delivery of food products from online stores of well-known retail chains. In 2022, the situation stabilized, and Poles began to bet on e-shopping more and more willingly. The competition in this segment is high - online shopping can be done in an ecological "e-bazaar", a popular grocery store, and - more and more often - in your favorite restaurant.

E-commerce, means future

According to CBRE data, restrictions related to the pandemic prompted approx. 13 percent. Poles to buy groceries more often via the Internet. PWC, on the other hand, in its research shows that the grocery shopping market in the years 2022-2026 will develop at an average level of 40%. annually. In 2026, over 11 percent. of the total e-commerce gross value will come from the sale of groceries.

Despite the dynamic growth, the food industry has to deal with many obstacles. Fast-moving products, i.e. bread, meat, fish, ready meals, are more often purchased stationary. A fast and secure supply chain is the most important link - customers expect quality and freshness of purchases. Everything, therefore, is in the hands of companies dealing with logistics services.

Safe transport is essential!
