Sainsbury’s and Morrisons are the winners in the latest set of grocery market figures from Kantar Worldpanel, with both retailers boosting their market share by 0.2 per cent.
The data, for the 12 weeks ending 8 August, shows healthy growth of 4.5 per cent across the grocery sector as a whole.
Top two UK supermarkets Tesco and Asda continued to lose share, falling by 0.2 per cent and 0.3 per cent respectively.
The independents, on the other hand, have seen an admirable 8.4 per cent year-on-year growth for this period.
Edward Garner, communications director at Kantar Worldpanel, said: “Morrisons in particular has shown a strong performance this month. Despite some commentators expecting Morrisons’ growth to run out of steam, it still comfortably leads the top four in terms of year-on-year performance with growth of 6.9 per cent.”
