Discount supermarket Aldi is tightening the gap on Australian grocery giants Coles and Woolworths, reporting $13.3 billion in sales last year and sending $900 million in dividends to its reclusive German owners.

The latest financial filings for Aldi Australia, lodged with the corporate regulator, show sales rose from $12.09 billion in 2023, making it the third-largest grocery retailer in the country.

Coles reported $39.98 billion in sales for fiscal 2025, while Woolworths’ supermarket arm reached $51.45 billion.

Despite this, Aldi’s growth rate is nearly 10% year-on-year, which is around triple that of its bigger rivals.

Aldi Australia’s profit for 2024 edged up to $403.7 million, though rising staff wages pushed total expenses to $1.47 billion, up from $1.28 billion the previous year.
