Grocery retailers in Finland - statistics & facts
The grocery retail industry in Finland is characterized by an oligopolistic market operated by two retail trade groups: S Group and K Group. As of 2023, the S Group holds the largest market share with roughly 48 percent of Finnish grocery retail. The share of the K Group, also known as Kesko, amounts to approximately 34 percent. The third largest player in the Finnish grocery sector is Lidl. The German discount supermarket chain entered the Finnish grocery retail market in the early 2000's, and by 2022, Lidl has managed to acquire nearly one-tenth of the Finnish grocery retail space.
