Amazon Buys Whole Foods
HOW DOES THE GROCERY INDUSTRY COMPETE?
Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods has sparked a wave of change for retailors in the grocery
industry. Further, e-commerce is expected to drive consumer packaged goods into the double-
digit range by 2022. This, in combination with Amazon’s acquisition, means players in the
grocery industry must evolve to meet the demand of growing customer expectations.
Grocery retailers must create a symbiotic relationship between customers’ experience online
and in physical stores.
Consumers no longer consider these as two distinct experiences, but rather two sides of the
same coin. True opportunity lies within the ability to bring online and in-store to work together,
providing a personalized, seamless service.
