Hypermarkets in South Africa

The number of hypermarkets operating in South Africa continued to decline in 2023. The trend emerged just prior to the pandemic due to cautious investments in the wake of economic uncertainty in the country. This scenario was exacerbated by lockdown restrictions during the pandemic as operators prioritised expansion in smaller formats in proximity to households.
