Moscow, 4 March 2026
– X5 (MOEX: X5), a leading Russian food retailer, ended 2025 as the
country’s top player in e-grocery, encompassing food and everyday
essentials. The Company demonstrated strong growth and operational
resilience throughout the year. Its e-grocery GMV1
reached RUB 323.7 billion, capturing an 18.6% share of the market,
according to INFOline.
X5’s digital
business became a key growth driver for the Company in 2025, fuelled
by the continuous expansion of its own express delivery channels,
technology platform, and geographic footprint. The Company handled
high order volumes efficiently while maintaining strong operational
stability. It also continued to build out its dark store network
across major cities. As one of its key technological milestones, X5
launched Russia’s first robotic dark store – a pilot facility
where 70% of operations are automated.
“X5’s
leadership in e-grocery in 2025 reflects years of sustained,
long-term effort. Throughout the year, we steadily scaled our digital
business while improving operational efficiency, strengthening our
technology platform, and enhancing the customer experience. We are
focused on sustainable growth with disciplined unit economics per
order, developing our own logistics infrastructure, and deploying
technology that keeps service levels high – even during peak
demand. This approach gives us a solid base for further growth that
solidifies X5’s position as the e-grocery market leader,” said
Sergey
Pankov, Managing
Director of X5 Digital.
By year-end 2025, express delivery was available from 9,544 X5 stores
across 75 Russian regions, including 7,315 Pyaterochka proximity
stores, 909 Perekrestok supermarkets, and 1,320 Chizhik hard
discounters.
GMV is the value of delivered
orders at their final prices (incl. VAT), gross of promo codes and
loyalty points applied. ↩︎
