Report Highlights
Despite the harsher economic conditions we forecast for the next five years,
we anticipate food & grocery expenditure will hold up well. In part this is
because of higher prices but it also reflects initiatives by food retailers to
make their stores and ranges more appealing and accessible.
We expect average annual retail price inflation over the next five years of
2.7%. This is a 1.2 percentage point rise on the average rate between 2002 and
2007. Higher levels of wholesale food price inflation will be at the core of
this growth.
Grocers will account for all of the sector' s growth. We forecast grocers'
sales to grow by over 26% between 2007 and 2012. This will increase grocers'
share of total retail spending to 41.6% in 2012.
