ROI GROCERY MARKET REVIEW Data to 5th January 2014 1 © Kantar Worldpanel OVERVIEW Market Overview • The market is seeing positive growth on an annual basis of +0.8% but the latest quarter has been more difficult with a -0.2% decline. • While there has been price inflation, shoppers continue to compensate for price increases by purchasing on offer and trading down to cheaper lines. However increased volume bought over the Christmas period together with price inflation has resulted in year on year household spend increasing by +0.7%. • Irish households are making more trips this period, with frequency up by +0.8%. • Spend per trip has remained steady, spend per household has increased. • Although the private label share of the grocery market slowed during the lead up to the Christmas period, it is still well ahead of last year. 2 © Kantar Worldpanel Total Irish Grocery Market Value and Growth - 52 and 12 w/e Irish grocery market sales have grown over the 52 week period by 0.8%, but are down by 0.2% for the 12 week period +0.6% +0.8% +1.4% -0.2% 3 © Kantar Worldpanel Total Irish Grocery Market Volume Sales and Growth - 52 and 12 w/e Growth of 1.3% in volume sales in the 12 week period Volume sales flat over the 52 week period +1.1% 0.0% -0.2% +1.3% 4 © Kantar Worldpanel Total Grocery - Sector Value Share & Growth 52w/e Fresh Food, Ambient Food and Toiletries driving growth in Grocery over the full year +1.3% +1.9% -3.3% +0.7% -3.1% +1.4% -7% © Kantar Worldpanel Total Grocery - Sector Value Share & Growth 12w/e The decline in 12 week sales is coming from sales losses year on year in Healthcare, Frozen Food, Alcohol and Fresh & Chilled Food Share of total trolley Ambient Food 30% Household 7% Fresh & Chilled Produce 47% Frozen 5% Toiletries 4% Healthcare 1% Alcohol 7% Total Trolley -0.2% value 6 © Kantar Worldpanel Analysis by Category – Growth/Decline?
