Executive summary

Article Abstract:

The U.K.'s food retailing market is growing alongside the slow economic recovery. But the growing trend hides the rationalization within the market, with fewer, larger food retail outlets superceding smaller, independent stores. Consumer food expenditure has remained fairly static between 1990 and 1995 and is set to reach 42 billion pounds sterling in 1995. Markets with poor performances during the period include fish, meats, cake, flour, sweeteners and sugars, while growth has been encouraging in the fruit and vegetable markets. An analysis of the U.K. food retail market is presented.
