UK Non-food in Grocers 2010

Introduction

Verdict Research: Grocers non-food sales have been boosted by a number of factors and particularly the onset of recession and continued aggressive space expansion. We highlight the key trends and drivers which are set to impact the channel going forward as well as providing forecasts for grocers sales in each of the non-food categories which they operate.

Scope

*Market size, sales and growth rates for the main non-food sectors in which the grocers operate.

*The grocers' performance within these non-food sectors including individual growth rates and market share analysis for the Big Four.

*Comprehensive profiles of the Big Four players: Asda, Morrison, Sainsbury, Tesco and analysis of the non-food propositions at smaller grocers.

*Year-on-year category forecasts to 2013 for grocers' non-food sales.

Highlights

The recession has provided a clear fillip to grocers with consumers becoming increasingly frugal and significant capacity falling out the market with high street specialists in particular being affected. The grocers have also benefitted from their robust footfalls, continued space growth and more focus on less-mature non-food categories.

Such impressive non-food value growth will be harder to achieve going forward. Space growth has slowed and non-food offers have now been rolled out to the majority of viable stores. Moreover, many weaker specialists have now exited the market and the remaining players tend to be more resilient, authoritative and less likely to cede market share.

Direct and online non-food propositions will form the basis through which long term non-food growth is driven. These can serve to enhance range credentials and help grocers to respond to changing consumer shopping habits by utilising the advantages that their large physical estates present.

Reasons to Purchase

*The report explains in detail the issues and changing dynamics of the market.

*Establish how non-food in grocers will perform up until 2013 and the opportunities that individual categories present.

*Gain competitive advantage by understanding the strengths and weakness of the Big Four grocery players' non-food offers.
