Around 6,183 supermarket and <strong>grocery</strong> retailers operate across Australia. Close<br />

<strong>to</strong> 73% <strong>of</strong> these are independent <strong>grocery</strong> retailers who hold close <strong>to</strong> 20%<br />

market share (based on turnover)<br />

IGA is the largest banner group <strong>of</strong> independent retailers. However, IGA is only<br />

one <strong>of</strong> several large banner groups which include FoodWorks and Ritchies.<br />

Independent retailers which are part <strong>of</strong> these banner groups account for around<br />

18.9% <strong>of</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal market share with 2,140 s<strong>to</strong>res (or 35% <strong>of</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal s<strong>to</strong>re numbers)<br />

around Australia<br />

Sales increased by 6.3% for IGA s<strong>to</strong>res and by 6.0% for Foodworks s<strong>to</strong>res in<br />

financial year 2006. This compares favourably with Australian retail sales growth<br />

<strong>of</strong> 4.3%<br />

Industry Value-Added (IVA) for the supermarket industry in 2006/07 is<br />

estimated at $18.6 billion (or close <strong>to</strong> 27% <strong>of</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal industry revenues). SMEs<br />

account for approximately 56% <strong>of</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal retail IVA<br />

Western Australia<br />

<br />

<br />

WA’s Gross State Product (GSP) reached approximately $108 billion as <strong>of</strong> June<br />

2006, approximately 12% <strong>of</strong> Australia’s GDP, with only 10% <strong>of</strong> the population<br />

<strong>The</strong> WA retail market has significantly outperformed the national retail market<br />

over a 10 year period and food retailing has kept pace with growth in retail<br />

turnover. <strong>The</strong> higher rate <strong>of</strong> retail market growth in WA is due <strong>to</strong> fac<strong>to</strong>rs<br />

including strong commodity prices coupled with population and wages growth<br />

being generally above the national averages<br />
