A report from Food Marketing Institute and Nielsen predicts that online grocery retail could be a $100 billion industry by 2022. That growth, however, does not guarantee financial success for retailers. They must focus their energy and resources to attain sustainable profitability. Inmar's Grocery e-Commerce Superstudy found that most grocery retailers lose up to 20 percent per online order when indirect costs are included. This emphasizes the need to prioritize top-line growth while, at the same time, enhancing a variety of internal operations to maximize margins and boost profit. In order to sustain growth in this new chan- nel, retailers must provide a superior online shopping experience that keeps shoppers coming back and concentrate on achieving optimized fulfillment and supply chain operations. That is a lot to ask, but there is tremendous unrealized revenue oppor- tunity for retailers with the infrastructure and strategies needed to cap- ture greater "share of stomach" and compete with quick-ser- vice restaurants for the dollars of time- starved consumers who are spending less time on at-home meal preparation. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, food accounts for more than $7,000 of the average family's annual expenditures. Of that, an average of $3,008 per year is spent on dining out.
