Market share data for the UK Grocery market from TNS has shown a slight
slow-down over the past month, with the market growing by 5.2% in the 12 weeks
to 6 September 2009. According to the market research agency,
"recession panic" is beginning to leave the mindset of both consumer and
retailer alike, with Waitrose proving to be the key beneficiary - growing by
11.2% compared with the previous year, aided by the performance of its
'essentials' range, and the acquisition of a number of Co-operative/Somerfield
sites.
Ed Garner, Director at TNS Worlpanel, signalled a cautionary note - despite
the solid performance from the grocery industry: "This is not to imply that
all sectors of the High Street will instantly return to pre-recession growth.
Rather that food remains a manageable proportion of most household budgets bys
historical standards.
"It is worth noting that there is challenge to the sector coming from the
falling grocery inflation rate - this will restrict value growth for the
industry going forward."
