The managing director of data consulting company Kantar has said many essential foodstuff items have increased at a rate that outstrips grocery price inflation – which has increased by 9.5% when compared to prices from last year.”In many instances prices are rising higher than that,” David Berry said.<\/p>\n

“If we look at some of the staple items that would be on people’s shopping list such as milk, butter, bread and eggs, we’re seeing prices increase by over 15% in those categories.<\/p>\n

“It’s really the base cost of producing the food that is increasing and that is being passed on to the prices that consumers are having to pay.”<\/p>\n

The latest figures from Kantar show that grocery inflation in Ireland is at its highest level in 14 years.<\/p>\n

“It was back in July of 2008 when the level was last slightly ahead of what we are seeing now,” Mr Berry said.<\/p>\n

“It was at 9.7% in 2008,” he added.<\/p>\n

Mr Berry said that in January of this year prices were increasing by 1.7%, a little ahead of the long-term average, but have since reached the current 9.5% food inflation figure.<\/p>\n

The Kantar figures show that own label products now account for 46.7% of the total Irish grocery market spend, up 2.7% from 2020.<\/p>\n

“The focus at the moment is very much on everyday low prices rather than promotional deals,” Mr Berry said.<\/p>\n

“Certainty there are fewer deals on the shelf at the moment,” Mr Berry said.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
