Greek supermarkets

Greek supermarkets

The Greek supermarket sector is dominated by the subsidiaries of the French owned Carrefour group. Carrefour Marinopoulos is the market leader with a total share exceeding 20%, while Dia has a market share of around 5%. Other major players include the Belgian owned Alpha-Beta Vassilopoulos and the Greek owned Sklavenitis and Veropoulos supermarket chains. The ten biggest supermarket chains already control over 80% of the total market share and this percentage is expected to increase even further [http://www.marketing-net.gr/online/article.asp?returnPage=GROUP&group=4&articleid=724] , [http://www.ethnos.gr/article.asp?catid=5349&subid=2&pubid=74717] . Aldi, the leading discount supermarket operator in Europe, is anticipated to enter the Greek market in the near future (possibly 2007 or 2008).

Note that due to the corporate and legal status of Lidl in Greece it is impossible to accurately measure its market share and other financial data. However it is believed that Lidl (with over 180 stores nationwide) is within or near the top ten supermarkets chains in Greece in terms of turnover.
