Brick Meets Click, a market research firm, released its latest report about the US online grocery industry. The report suggests that the total online grocery sales in the US went down 6% in March versus 2021. It fell by $8.7B versus record sales of $9.3 billion in March last year. The research firm divided the online grocery industry into three categories: Ship-to-Home, Pickup, and Delivery. Ship-to-Home, which hauls delivering orders via parcel delivery firms like UPS and FedEx, had the lowest sales. It went down by 30%, from $2.1 to $1.4 billion. The pickup option involves curbside, in-store, lockers, and drive-thru pickups. This category saw a decline of 11%. Sales from the delivery options went up year over year, going from $2.9 billion to $3.5 billion, and came as a relief for e-grocers.
