Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- ALDI Australia won Roy Morgan's Best Supermarket award again on 30 April 2026.
- ALDI launched DoorDash Special Buys and liquor on 6 January 2026.
- ALDI expanded Queensland holiday packages and cookware collaborations during Q1-Q2 2026.
What critics are saying
- Revenue growth slowed to A$13.94 billion in FY2025, while profit fell 20%.
- Aggressive Coles and Woolworths price cuts squeeze ALDI's low-price moat in 2026.
- If Coles and Woolworths match private-label prices, ALDI loses its core traffic engine.
What makes ALDI Australia unique
- Over 90% of ALDI Australia's range is own-brand, enabling tighter pricing control.
- ALDI's Special Buys still drive traffic, despite a reported 20% inventory cut.
- DoorDash and in-store exclusives extend reach without abandoning its discount-only positioning.
