    "market_overview": "Zero-Waste Grocery Stores Market Analysis by Mordor IntelligenceThe zero-waste grocery market size in 2026 is estimated at USD 313.44 billion, growing from 2025 value of USD 290.9 billion with 2031 projections showing USD 455.39 billion, growing at 7.75% CAGR over 2026-2031. Robust growth is propelled by strict single-use plastic regulations, rising consumer eco-consciousness, and technological upgrades that close cost gaps between package-free and conventional retail. Europe’s policy leadership, North America’s venture investment in AI-enabled inventory tools, and Asia-Pacific’s urbanization collectively expand the addressable base of the zero-waste grocery market. Retail pilots inside mainstream supermarkets de-risk capital commitments, while purpose-built bulk dispensing stores deepen customer education and loyalty. AI-driven markdown engines, such as those adopted by East of England Co-op, shrink waste and improve margins, reinforcing the economic case for zero-waste adoption.",
