Gain an Insight into the Top Companies Operating in the UK’s Grocery Retailers Market

DUBLIN, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c48459) has announced the addition of UK Grocery Retailers 2007 to their offering.
UK Grocery Retailers 2007 analyses the grocery retailers market in the UK as it continues to benefit from rapid space expansion, format development and the growth of non-food ranges. The report looks at the dynamics, growth trends and drivers, key indicators and profiles the top operators in the market, covering market share performance between 2001 and 2006.
Scope
Market size, sales including category sales and growth rates for 2001-2006. Space allocation and sales mix estimates for leading players across major food and non-food product categories. Analysis by retailer, with market shares, store profile statistics and sales densities for 2001-2006.
Highlights
Grocers increased their combined floorspace by a phenomenal 2.2m sq ft in 2006 more than double the amount added in 2005 and the largest annual space drive in the market since 1994. While smaller players have continued to shut shop in light of tougher competition, Tesco and, on a more limited scale, Asda have aggressively targeted space growth. In food, over the past 12-18 months there has been a notable shift away from the value-driven agenda, so prominent over the past decade. While price remains absolutely crucial to grocers in maintaining their competitive punch, they are increasingly turning their focus to premiumisation, quality and service as means to add further value. In 2006 we expect core food & grocerys share of total retail to increase for the first time in modern history. The combination of premiumisation, growing sales of organic ranges and inflation in the market have been the main drivers. However, with inflationary pressures set to ease in 2007 we do not expect this to continue.
