SuperValu just holds off Tesco to retain top spot

SuperValu remains the biggest supermarket in Ireland in terms of market share, but it only barely held off stiff competition from Tesco in the 12 weeks to mid-August.

SuperValu retained the position of Ireland’s largest grocery retailer with a market share of 22.2%, just ahead of Tesco with 22%.

Tesco, which saw sales growth of 3.4% in the 12-week period, has now seen a fourth consecutive period of growth, the Kantar Worldpanel report said.
