Article Abstract:
The UK grocery market amounted to 84.17 billion pounds sterling at end-June 1997, against 58.20 billion pounds sterling in December 1990, according to a new survey from the Institute of Grocery Distribution. The survey shows that the UK's ten leading grocery retailers, excluding the Co-ops, had a 61.2% market share in mid-1997, against 51.5% in 1990. The report's findings are based on national retailers where food-related sales exceed 50%, small neighbourhood stores where food-related sales exceed 35%, chemists and VAT. Petrol sales and non-food sales are excluded.
