Tesco’s share of the Irish grocery market has fallen to 21.6%, giving the UK retailer the third largest share of the Irish market behind SuperValu and Dunnes Stores. According to the latest figures from Kantar Worldpanel, the value of Tesco’s sales in Ireland in the 12 weeks to the first week of October declined 1.3% year-on-year. It’s not long since the UK retailer held the dominant position in the Irish grocery market with more than a 30% share of the market.
In comparison, SuperValu recorded year-on-year sales growth of close to 3%, to maintain its grip of the largest market share in Ireland. However, Dunnes Stores continues to narrow the gap on SuperValu in top spot with the privately-owned retailer recording very strong sales growth of more than 6%.
The German discounters Lidl and Aldi continue their strong sales growth of 5% and 6.6%, respectively. The discounters account for a combined 23% share of the Irish grocery market and continue to eat away at the dominance of the big three.
