Grocery Retailers Leverage AI To Convert Digital Demand
SymphonyAI's 2025 Grocery E-commerce Benchmark, analyzing more than 1.3 billion transactions and 68 million households across the U.S. and Europe, finds online grocery sales growing after three years of contraction and a 12% year-over-year rise in new or reactivated digital customers. The study shows online purchases shifting toward small, mission-specific baskets, and leading grocers using AI-driven segmentation and digital signals to drive in-store visits, loyalty and higher spend, suggesting retailers must integrate digital insights with store operations.
