A new report from research firm Numerator highlights the continuing dominance of Walmart in the U.S. grocery sector, where the retail powerhouse commands more than 20% of total food spending.

Though the margin may seem marginal, its significance is considerable: it marks Kroger’s ability to withstand the aggressive growth trajectory that Costco has sustained in recent years.
