Retail Channel Series: UK Convenience Retailing, 2024-2029

Summary

The GlobalData UK Convenience Retailing 2024-2029 report offers comprehensive insight and analysis of the convenience channel in the UK, the main trends and hot issues, major players and consumer shopping behaviour.

The UK convenience retail market will experience a slower CAGR between 2024 and 2029, than the previous five years from 2019 to 2024. Intensifying store expansion by grocers in 2025 and 2026 will be the key driver of market growth. The market faces challenges from rising food inflation putting pressure on household budgets, leading to potential volume declines in the convenience channel.

Key Highlights
  • The UK convenience channel will achieve a slower CAGR between 2024 and 2029 than the previous five years (2019 and 2024), as the market becomes more consolidated and fluctuations in hybrid working patterns settle.
  • Food & drink sales dominate the convenience store sector, accounting for almost 90% of convenience store sector spend.
  • Consumers in the UK aged 16 to 24 are significantly underrepresented in grocer loyalty schemes, despite having a strong interest in discounts.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
