Online grocery was a standout performer, with internet sales up 9.7% year on year. More than 18 million online orders were placed over the four weeks, lifting the channel's market share to 13%, its highest level since July 2021.
Fraser McKevitt, head of retail and consumer insight at Worldpanel by Numerator, said: "More affluent families in London and the Southeast of England are still the most likely to shop for groceries online.
"However, the channel's appeal is broadening, with shoppers from a wider range of economic backgrounds increasingly drawn to its convenience."
