(Data from IBISWorld)
Woolworths and Coles are the two largest supermarkets in Australia, having a combined market share of more than 65% of the grocery market[1]. Aldi (Aldi Süd) is a recent arrival (after coming to Oz in 2001), and has managed to acquire a large market share from the Woolworths/Coles duopoly which prior to Aldi arriving was 80% market share.
Fun fact, Aldi owns Winn-Dixie in the US, who's stores look like a carbon copy of Coles stores... down to having similar "down, down" branding.
