Festive Promotions And Discounts Boost UK Grocery Growth – NIQ

UK grocery sales hit a record £14.6 billion in the final three weeks to Christmas on festive promotions and deals, NIQ reported on Wednesday.

British retailer Marks & Spencer’s food business enjoyed robust trading in the run-up to Christmas, according to NIQ.

Marks & Spencer has entered Christmas trading with momentum as NIQ data showed it to be one of the UK's fastest-growing grocers.

UK shoppers are expected to spend more this Christmas due to lower inflation and strong promotions, according to the latest data from NIQ.

CGA by NIQ has reported on changing drinking trends in the past few years and advises how to keep drink sales healthy despite new habits.

The spirits market has recently grown in the Republic of Ireland following an extended period of poor performance according to CHA by NIQ.

UK total till sales slowed to 4.0% growth in the four weeks to 2 November ahead of big spending events such as Christmas, NIQ reported.

UK shoppers spent £53.7 billion of FMCG in the third quarter of 2024, a 3.7% lift on the same quarter last year, according to NIQ and GfK.
