TRKR:NIQ Brand Growth Snapshot
For every brand owner, the key to unlocking brand growth is by getting more shoppers to buy them, as championed by Byron Sharp in ‘How Brands Grow’.
59% of the top 3,000 grocery brands have grown through penetration.
Each month our TRKR:NIQ Brand Growth Snapshot series will focus on identifying the brands that are leading the way in their respective categories. We’ll also understand what impact this has had upon their category. Have they grown by stealing spend from rival brands (creating churn) or have they added incremental growth to their category?
With our help, brand owners across FMCG will be able to look both inside and outside their categories to identify examples of growth brands so they can take possible learnings to apply to their own.

TRKR:NIQ Brand Growth Snapshot. Chilled Convenience, October ‘25
Chilled Convenience is a growing category in the UK, especially driven by changing consumer habits after COVID-19. With tightening budgets and less time spent cooking, shoppers are looking for ways to enjoy restaurant-quality meals at home without hassle, as well as quick lunches on the go.
The category includes a wide range of products - from pies, rolls, pizzas, and pastas to meat-based and vegan dishes, along with cuisine-led 'Fakeaways' like British, Japanese, Indian, and Italian.
While Private Label currently leads the field, the breadth of the category provides space for brands to innovate and grow.
