What do shrinking households mean for the way we buy food? Hosts Lucas and Luna explore how demographic shifts are reshaping the grocery industry, from packaging sizes to store formats. In Japan, single-person households now account for nearly 40% of all households, driving a surge in convenience-store bento boxes and single-serving vegetables. European retailers like Tesco and Carrefour are rethinking their produce sections, offering pre-cut fruit cups and 'half-head' cabbage. In the US, Walmart and Kroger are experimenting with smaller-format stores and click-and-collect models aimed at busy singles and childless couples. The episode also examines how supply chains must adapt: when families shrink, they buy less in bulk and more on demand. Lucas and Luna discuss the economic logic behind 'the death of the family-size box' and ask whether the grocery industry's infrastructure can keep pace with the one-person dinner. #FallingBirthRates #GroceryIndustry #Demographics #Economics #Retail #Japan #SinglePersonHouseholds #Packaging #ConvenienceStores #SupplyChain #Walmart #Kroger #Tesco #Carrefour #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DemographicsPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
