This means that it assumes no change in consumer behaviour due to increased prices, which in turn means that individual consumers may be experiencing lower grocery inflation themselves if they change their own behaviour.
Trade down
The easiest way for a consumer to reduce their personal inflation rate is to trade down the value chain when shopping.
There is strong evidence from Katar data that this is happening, with own-label value brands currently holding a market share of 47.5%.
Of the major multiples in Ireland, Dunnes continues to hold top spot with 23.7% of the market. Tesco is second on 22.5%, with Supervalu at 20.6%. Lidl and Aldi are at 13.5% and 12.1% respectively.
