Nevertheless, hypermarkets will continue to dominate the market in value terms and discount stores will play an ever greater role.

The value of the hypermarket segment is forecast to grow by 95.2% to US$32.73bn, representing the largest value share within the MGR market. However, smaller formats such as discount stores represent the ideal format for penetrating Poland's rural areas where the majority of the population resides, with this format forecast to grow by 29.2% to US$7.04bn in 2011.
