The value of the Irish grocery market has increased by 1.1% compared to the same period last year, according to figures from Kantar Worldpanel. This contrasts to the UK grocery market, which has contracted for the first time on record.
Branded grocery sales have also marginally increased (by 0.3%) in Ireland, reflecting a more confident consumer as the economy shows signs of recovery.
The multiples (Tesco, Dunnes, Supervalu, Aldi and Lidl) have increased their sales value by 1.5% compared to last year.

However, this is at the expense of other outlets, including small corner shops, which have seen their sales value fall 1.9%. Grocery inflation now stands at 2.6% for the period compared to last year, according to Kantar.
Competition in the market is also intensifying, with the top three retailers being separated by less than 1.5% share – a record narrow divide which could see each continue to fight for market share.
As Tesco clings onto the top spot with 24.9% share, it is followed closely by SuperValu at 24.5% and Dunnes with 23.5%.
