The Irish grocery market has returned to growth for the first time in six months, according to figures from Kantar Worldpanel.
Aldi has been the biggest winner with a 22% rise in sales in the 12-week period to April 27.
Sales at Tesco have fallen by 4% in the same period, while SuperValu’s market share now stands at 25.1%, an increase of 0.5%.
The figures show a shift in patterns from shopping little and often to making less trips but buying more groceries each time.
