Grocery retail sales are growing
Grocery retail sales valued at HUF 1,300 billion in the 90 categories audited by Nielsen, between December 2014 and September 2015. Like-for-like value sales augmented by 5 percent and volume sales also improved by 5 percent – according to the Nielsen Retail Index. Retail service manager Ágnes Szűcs-Villányi told Trade magazin that one of the growth’s engines was that sales of high-turnover thirst-quenchers developed above the average in the last 10 months: drink sales rose 10 percent to HUF 275 billion. Stores with a floor space of 200m² and smaller shops realised 42 percent of carbonated soft drink sales, 40 percent of energy and sports drink sale and 39 percent of beer sales. Stores bigger than 400m² sold 72 percent of all mineral water. Grocery retail sales: the 401-2,500m² channel’s share grew from 38 to 39 percent (in value); the above-2,500m² channel’s share fell from 28 tom 27 percent. Shops with a floor space of 51-200m² saw their share increase from 17 to 18 percent. 50m² and smaller shops lost 1 percentage point and were at 8 percent. Grocery value and volume sales both developed above the average, by 6 percent in Budapest and Pest County.
