Forrester just released The State of Global Online Retail, 2018. The headlines are clear:Forrester expects the global online grocery market to double from $150 billion in 2017 to $334 billion by 2022, powered by increased investment by retailers in the online channel. The market is wide open as retailers race to become the default provider. Online grocery sales comprised just 2.9% of total global grocery retail sales in 2017. While the U.S. operates at a mid-point of both nexuses, mature markets like South Korea demonstrate higher than average retail and grocery participation while a market like China has huge online retail sales but a relatively small share of that is in grocery.
