Grocery Retailers in Belgium

According to market experts, Belgian consumers go directly to essentials when shopping for grocery items. A few years ago, more than half of the trolley contained impulse buys. Two years after the peak of the financial crisis consumers remained focused on essentials – despite signs of economic recovery and a fall in unemployment. In 2011, consumers preferred to avoid “extras” and buy less to buy better. This is forcing companies to focus more than ever on price, without forgetting the quality.
