Colruyt, Belgium's largest supermarket group, has lost market share and seen a 4.3% decline in profit during the fiscal year 2025/2026. The combined market share of Colruyt, Okay, Spar, and Comarkt in Belgium dropped to 28.5%, down from 28.8% six months ago. The company attributes this to increased competition due to changes such as Sunday openings and the abolition of mandatory rest days. Despite these challenges, revenue rose by 3.1% to €10.6 billion, though operating profit fell by 0.9% to €465 million.
