65% of UK consumers switched food shopping to Aldi or Lidl, with Millennials and Gen Z leading the trend, despite traditional supermarkets' discounts.

65% of UK consumers have switched some or all of their food shopping to Aldi or Lidl, a rise of 4 percentage points year-over-year, according to research by Pricer. Younger demographics, like Millennials and Gen Z, are the most likely to switch, and despite falling food price inflation, consumers remain price- and promotion-sensitive. Traditional supermarkets' loyalty program discounts have not stemmed the discounter's growth, as both Aldi and Lidl remain cheaper than Tesco and Sainsbury's.
