China’s chain supermarkets and convenience stores reported steady operational improvement in 2025, industry surveys have shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent survey released by the China Chain Store and Franchise Association revealed that 50 percent of surveyed companies reported year-on-year growth in total sales in 2025 — up from 38 percent in 2024 — while 46 percent reported an increase in net profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among comparable stores, standard supermarkets and community supermarkets outperformed large-format supermarkets, according to the survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than half of all supermarket outlets saw continued increases in customer traffic and online business, while 72 percent of surveyed companies reported higher online sales than year prior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many companies reported that they had carried out store renovations and adjustments to improve customer experience and product competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 90 percent of companies that made such adjustments achieved performance growth, with bakery products playing a notable role in boosting store visits, capturing instant consumption demand and strengthening store image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over half of all surveyed chain supermarket companies said they plan to pursue further development in 2026 through a range of measures, such as facility upgrades, a deepened regional presence and cross-regional expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the sector is shifting from a scale-driven approach to growth toward a focus on quality and efficiency, with the foundation for growth strengthening gradually, according to the results of the survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A separate survey on convenience stores, which was also carried out by the association, showed that more than 60 percent of convenience store companies reported year-on-year sales growth in 2025, with the increase resulting mainly from comparable-store sales growth, followed by incremental sales from store expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That survey found that the total number of convenience stores continued to grow in 2025, though the pace of growth moderated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For 2026, nearly 70 percent of respondents said they will prioritize optimizing product categories, refining operations and developing private-label products, as strengthening product competitiveness becomes a shared focus across the industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
