Will grocery Retail be disrupted by Coronavirus ongoing?

The potential impact of coronavirus to the retail economy is as of yet unfathomable, as shoppers turn to survival mode. Groceries and household essentials are the only port in this storm. In ordinary times, any retailer would love to see a surge in demand, but this extraordinary time has strained the grocery industry almost to the breaking point. And it looks highly likely that retailer revenue growth will coincide with a profit fall as we see a potential shift in food sales from restaurants closed by the pandemic. All of this is going to throw the proverbial spanner into grocery retailers’ carefully crafted e-commerce sales, fulfilment, and buy-online-click & collect plans based upon their previously predictable growth scenarios.
