Discounters in Belgium

Discounters in Belgium registered a marked slowdown in growth in current value terms in 2023. This came despite the continued inflationary environment, which meant that value proved to be the most important factor when consumers were doing their grocery shopping. While the channel is renowned for its low prices, growth was restricted by the permanent closure of a number of Leader Price stores, as the retailer struggled to retain its margins in the face of rising operating costs.
