Albert Heijn Supermarkets - statistics and facts

Accounting for roughly a third of the national market, Albert Heijn was unequivocally the leading company within the country’s food retail industry in 2020. Jumbo, which accounted for just over 20 percent and is Albert Heijn’s top competitor, has grown considerably over the past decade and is likely to keep up the pace for years to come.

Supermarkets in the Netherlands

In 2021, the Dutch supermarket landscape consisted of about 6.7 thousand stores in total. Starting at just over six thousand in 2014, the number of supermarkets in the country has increased incrementally each and every year. In 2020, Dutch supermarkets accounted for a combined total of roughly 39 billion euros in revenue, which translates to an average annual revenue of nearly six and a half million euros per location. That year, supermarket revenue was noticeably higher than usual, which may have been the result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and subsequent lockdowns.
