In the latest Kantar quarterly analysis of the retail grocery market, inflation is running at 1.7% for the 12 weeks ending 23 January.
This is based on the monitoring of 30,000 identical products sold through Irish retail and is the highest level since October 2020.
The overall value of the grocery market is down 4.5% over this period compared with the same period in 2021 but remains 11.2% ahead of the equivalent period in 2019, pre-pandemic.
