Supermarket spend grows to €11.2bn as ''big five'' maintain grip

Supermarkets sold almost €11.2bn in groceries last year, up by €310m from 2018, as the ‘big five’ grocers maintained their grip over the market.

The figures come from market researcher Kantar which also reported that shoppers spent over €1bn in December and more than €2.7bn in the 12 weeks to the end of the year.
