Sales of packaged food continue to grow

Packaged food saw positive retail value growth in current terms in 2018. The UK’s GDP continues to grow, although the uncertainty surrounding the final Brexit deal continues to impact consumer confidence as the value of the pound remains relatively unsteady.

Health and wellness drives growth across packaged food

Health and wellness is becoming increasingly important in the British packaged food landscape. Healthier lifestyles, media influence and changes in dietary habits are all driving growth in the category.

Private label and discounters continue to win share across the packaged food space

Faced with uncertainty relating to Brexit and increasing unit prices, British consumers are increasingly turning to private label, with discounters among the main beneficiaries. Although private label was previously associated with inherently low quality, private label is gaining popularity and its quality is widely considered comparable with branded products.

British consumers increasingly buy their groceries online

Grocery shopping routines are changing as British consumers increasingly abandon traditional food shopping habits. Online retailing experienced further growth in 2018, taking advantage of its huge potential for niche brands.

Packaged food set to continue growing at a slow pace over the forecast period

Packaged food is slated for a slower pace of growth over the forecast period. Premiumisation and rising inflation are set to be among the main drivers of growth across the industry.
