This webinar has taken place. Watch the recording here.

This session will use the UK channel forecasts as its foundation to look to 2027, where you can discover how IGD sees grocery retailing in the UK developing and why. This includes a deeper dive into expected performance of key grocery channels.

As shoppers, retailers and suppliers deal with the impact from the cost of living crisis in the country, we also examine how divided shoppers are and the emerging trends we are seeing across channels.
