A spin-off from the larger Packaged Facts report Amazon Strategies and the Amazon Shopper, 2nd Edition, this focused study analyzes online grocery purchasing trends over time to assess purchase channel (i.e. online and in-store) shifts and preferences according to major retailer and retailer channel, considering Amazon’s foray into the online grocery market.

Analysis in U.S. Grocery Market Focus: The Amazon Food Shopper, 2nd Edition is devoted to the role Amazon plays in shaping grocery trends, with attention paid to Amazon cross-usage among major food retailers over time; consumer usage of Amazon services such as Amazon Fresh, Subscribe & Save and Prime Pantry; the effect of Amazon’s Whole Foods acquisition on the marketplace (including demographic synergies across market areas); and its effect on prepared foods such as fresh meal kits.
