In 2022, the total value of grocery retail sales in Indonesia reached $100 million, a 9 percent increase from the previous year due to the easing of pandemic-related measures. Traditional markets still dominate the retail food and beverage sector, accounting for 77 percent of market share, although they continue to lose market share to modern retail stores and e-commerce. Among modern retail channels, convenience stores make up the largest segment and are expected to continue to grow in number of outlets due to their closer proximity to residential areas and expansion outside of Java Island.
