COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Grocery retailing in Denmark is highly consolidated and dominated by chains. Independent grocers accounted for only 2% of the total grocery retailing value sales. Coop Danmark led sales of grocery retailers with a current value share of 28% in 2011, with its share having increased in recent years, a trend that continued in 2011. Its strategy is to expand its product ranges in its nationwide hypermarket, supermarket and discounter chains. Aiming to satisfy the increasingly polarised consumer demand for both premium and economy products, the company is investing heavily in developing strong private label ranges within all price segments, as well as organic products and in-store speciality departments, such as bakery, meat, delicatessen, fruit and vegetables and wine. The company is also developing its ethical profile towards a more environmentally-friendly method of business.
