A SuperValu store. The Irish owned retailer have taken over the top spot as Ireland's largest grocery retailer according to the latest Kantar Worldpanel analysis
ADVERTISEMENT
SuperValu is Ireland’s leading grocery retailer by market share. The Irish group took the top spot from long-time leaders Tesco in the Kantar Worldpanel’s market analysis for the first quarter of 2015.
The volume of consumer spend on groceries increased in SuperValu stores by 3%. In contrast, Tesco experienced a fall of 3.4% in spend in the same period. This led to a 1.2% fall in market share for Tesco, allowing SuperValu into the top spot.
Dunnes increased sales by almost 5% and market share by 0.8% to halve the gap with Tesco in the last 12 months. Dunnes now holds 22.7% of the market, although current industrial unrest could affect the company negatively.

Aldi and Lidl continue to grow market share, and now account for 16.8% of the overall market – over one-sixth – with Aldi maintaining a slight lead on Lidl (8.7% to 8.2%).
