Retail Companies directories
Retail Companies by country
Each country page classifies destination hypers, hard discounters, local supermarket groups, co-ops, chemist banners and the traditional grocer or open-market layer that still takes the weekday trip. FMCG manufacturer directories sit on a separate URL when the brief is plants and SKUs rather than facings.
Nielsen, Circana and their peers remain the panel. BioNixus is the fieldwork layer that cuts those banners by mission, catchment and SKU. Use a country page when the question is which account held the pack, not which category grew.

Who this is for
What these directories are for
Banner-level shopper design
Split samples by format — hard discount, hypermarket, co-op, chemist, traditional grocer — instead of one “modern trade” cell.
Listing and promotion sequencing
See which banners actually set organised-grocery tempo in each country before a launch or a pack-down.
Traditional-trade coverage checks
Commission grocer, souq and cash-and-carry audits against the banners that restock them, not against a national average.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a retail directory different from an FMCG directory?
Retail pages list banners and formats. FMCG pages list manufacturers and the trade that moves their packs. A BIM-versus-Carrefour brief belongs here; a Cosumar-versus-Unilever brief belongs on the FMCG page.
Why are some Gulf countries missing from the new files?
Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar already have live /retail-companies-{country} pages. Those URLs were not recreated. This hub links to them alongside the new spokes.
Do pharmacy chains belong on a grocery directory?
When the SKU is personal care, baby or OTC-adjacent, yes — chemist banners take those missions. Dedicated pharmacy-chain directories exist where BioNixus fields that channel as its own account set.
Can BioNixus run a shopper study against these banners?
Yes. Shopper, retailer-audit and mystery-shop studies are scoped through the proposal form on each country page, with the market and banners named.
