Tesco's sales rose 2.8 percent over the 12-week period, Kantar said, behind growth of 4.5 percent at Wal-Mart's Asda, Britain's No. 2 supermarket chain, and growth of 3.8 percent at Sainsbury, the No. 3 player. Wm Morrison Supermarkets, Britain's No. 4 grocer, was the laggard, with growth of 1.1 percent, reflecting its lack of an online offer and only a small number of convenience outlets.
Kantar said the total grocery market grew 3.3 percent over the 12 weeks, above its inflation measure of 2.9 percent. "Despite ongoing pressures, things seem to be looking up in the grocery market and shoppers are not having to trade down to the same extent as they have done over the past year," said Garner.
