Edward Garner,
Director of Research, TNS Worldpanel,
comments:
The
latest TNS Worldpanel grocery market share figures, published
today for the 12 weeks ending 15th June 2008
confirm the trends we saw last time in terms of effects of the
downturn. The Grocery market continues to grow strongly (+6%
year-on-year) helped by food price inflation and it is now
apparent that shoppers’ pursuit of value-for money is
affecting the outlet shares in the sector.
Both
Aldi and Lidl have delivered very strong year-on-year growths
of 21% and 13% respectively and, in the case of Aldi, this
results in a record share of 2.9%. Similarly, Iceland
continues its strong run with 12% growth as Frozen Food, with
its strong value reputation, enjoys a revival.
With
regard to the Top 4, both Asda and Morrisons continue to enjoy
growth ahead of the market and so lift their shares.
Tesco and Sainsbury’s however see their shares slip as their
growths of 5% and 4% respectively remain behind the market
average.
A
word about inflation
Recent
media commentary has produced some pretty scary figures for
the annual rate of increase of food prices with figures up to
20% being quoted. Whilst it is true that certain prices
have indeed “rocketed” TNS believe that it is more relevant to
look at the average household shopping basket, taking account
of sales levels and promotions and, as a result, state that
price inflation in Grocery stood at 4.6% for the 12
weeks ending April 20th 2008.
This
figure is based on 78,000 identical products compared
year-on-year and therefore represents the most authoritative
figure currently available.
