The empire is crumbling and most retailers don't even realize it yet. 2025 isn't just another year in retail. It's the year the old guard fell. For two decades, Amazon reigned supreme as the undisputed king of eCommerce, setting the rules that everyone else scrambled to follow. But something seismic has shifted in the digital shopping landscape, and the numbers tell a story that should terrify traditional omnichannel retailers.

The grocery industry stands at a remarkable inflection point. While other sectors have gradually embraced digital transformation, grocery retail, traditionally one of the most relationship-driven and tactile commerce experiences, is rapidly evolving into a sophisticated, AI-powered ecosystem. The latest data on Grocery Trends reveals not just an adoption trend, but a fundamental reimagining of how grocery businesses operate, compete, and serve customers.

The retail industry is undergoing a radical transformation. According to recent industry insights, over half, 52%, of all global retail growth in the upcoming years is expected to be captured by just 10 retailers worldwide. This remarkable concentration of market power is reshaping competitive dynamics and demands urgent reflection from every retailer and brand operating outside this elite group.
