Highlights

Easing inflation and constrained household budgets will cause food & grocery growth to slow to 3.4% in 2010, from 5.4% in 2009. As a period of subdued growth begins, the battle for market share will intensify. Building loyalty and driving volumes through promotional activity will be key to success.

With growth coming from stealing share, the supermarkets will all look to add space. As food inflation eases, there will be more reliance on non-food propositions for growth. Enhancing online offers and a greater focus on product innovation, especially in quality meal solutions and cooking from scratch, will also be essential in attracting spend.

Though consumers are value focused, they remain time poor and willing to pay a premium for convenience. As a result, supermarkets will focus more on online propositions, convenience stores and extension of private label meal solutions. The sector is also set to gain from frugal consumers dining at home more, with premium ranges benefitting.
