The number of places shoppers buy from has only changed marginally since 2023. Why? --> Shoppers don’t want to change where they shop (for the most part) - until they are really in distress. --> They trust retailers more than other institutions; and often brands. But some of the shifts they've made - to off-price grocery most notably - are poised to impact the retail industry in a big way. Retailers like ALDI USA are realigning the retail (and brand) landscape on many levels and for many different shoppers - including higher income.

When everything’s on the line, shopper insight isn’t optional, it’s your edge. Asda’s new bay-by-bay reset is one of the biggest shifts in its commercial strategy for years. The retailer is looking to simplify its offer, strengthen supplier relationships, and deliver better value for shoppers. The message: buy better, sell faster, and be 10% cheaper. For suppliers, that means a tighter, leaner environment. Asda plans to remove duplication, delist slow-selling lines, and focus investment on high-volume, fast-moving SKUs that build traffic and price trust. Despite the obvious pressure this puts on suppliers, there are opportunities to be had: - For fast sellers: Suppliers with strong rate of sale and clear shopper demand can gain space and visibility. - For data-led partners: Asda wants suppliers who bring insight, not just product, those who understand their shopper and can demonstrate their category growth potential. - For value-oriented brands: Those aligned to Asda’s “low price, high volume” strategy stand to benefit from the shift. - For innovators: NPD that solves real shopper needs, not just adds duplication, will still find a place. The retailer will expect partners to come armed with data, not just products, and to prove exactly how their solutions will drive category growth, whilst aligning to their strategy. The winners will be suppliers who think and talk like retailers, using insight to justify their position. With the right insight, you can challenge effectively, protect your listings, win space, and grow share. Shopper Intelligence can enable all of this. With insights available instantly. A total grocery survey in 2025 n=80,000 (n=13,000 in ASDA alone) covering 225 categories in the store. The full path to purchase.

With that in mind, our CEO Sam Vise talked to Deniz Ataman at FoodNavigator about the biggest CPG blind spots that lead to lost sales. The number one blind spot? Invisible demand. Without robust shopper behavior insights, stores make the same mistakes over and over again. Get his full insights on reducing lost sales at the link in our comments.
