Where Britain Shops 2008: Supermarkets Report is a Wide-Ranging Analysis of the Way Customers Shop

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cd910c/where_britain_shop)
has announced the addition of the "Where Britain Shops 2008:
Supermarkets" report to their offering.

   With supermarkets building ever more substantial positions in
non-food, they present an increasing threat to specialist retailers.
Not only are their non-food ranges becoming more comprehensive, but
they are also now much more widely available as supermarkets broaden
their reach through new superstores, non-food only stores and online
non-food operations.

   Scope

   - A wide-ranging analysis of the way customers shop in
supermarkets with profiles of the UK's four largest grocers: Asda,
Morrison, Sainsbury and Tesco.

   - For each category this report provides a full socio-economic
breakdown of shoppers, analysis of competitors used and sector
penetration data.

   - For each profiled retailer, this report provides a
socio-economic breakdown of their customer base, cross sector shopping
data and conversion rates.

   Highlights

   For the fifth straight year, Tesco has increased its share of UK
shoppers. 50.9% of all UK shoppers use Tesco on a regular basis, a 2.2
percentage point increase. The retailer has achieved this growth
through opening 139 new stores across a number of formats as well as
developing other channels such as its online offer and new catalogue
offer.

   Homewares is the fastest growing non-food sector in supermarkets.
Grocers have increased their share of all homewares shoppers by 2.9
percentage points to 45.0%, more than three times the growth of the
sector with the second largest increase: DIY, which grew by 0.9
percentage points.

   Electricals continue to be attractive to supermarkets. For the
seventh straight year, the percentage of electricals shoppers buying
from supermarkets has increased, growing this time by 0.3 percentage
points to 25.4%. However, they still trail large electricals
specialists like Currys, attracting 42.1% of UK electricals shoppers,
and Comet 32.0%.
