As inflationary pressures begin to ease in 2024, retail volume sales of staple foods in the UK are improving. The previous two years were characterised by strong inflation, which led to a decline in demand as consumers faced increased costs. However, as global supply chains stabilise, cost increases are easing, leading to more moderate price growth. This stabilisation is helping to reverse the negative performance of previous years, resulting in low retail volume growth in 2024.
