U.S. Retailer Preference Index: Special Inflation Edition 2022

How the struggling U.S. grocery shopper is responding to economic uncertainty and which grocers are winning

Introducing a Special Edition of dunnhumby’s Retailer Preference Index (RPI), adapted for inflationary times. This comprehensive, nationwide study examines the $1 trillion U.S. grocery market and identifies retailers best positioned to gain share during times of economic uncertainty and, perhaps more importantly, build emotional connection with shoppers for the future. Inspired by the dunnhumby Retailer Preference Index for U.S. Grocery — the industry’s first annual ranking of retailers based both on financial performance and Customer sentiment — our goal is to help you understand what you should be doing to best position yourself to win today and in the future.

The Inflation RPI is included as part of The dunnhumby Quarterly: Inflation Edition, a new strategic analysis of the key grocery themes in times of economic uncertainty. This edition unites inflation-related insights from economic trends, Customer needs, competitive positioning of the 70 largest retailers in the U.S. grocery market, and the perspectives of our battle tested grocery industry consultants. And, for the first time, we will be rolling out the content on a weekly cadence.

Retailers included in the RPI that are interested in receiving their individual banner profiles can speak with their dunnhumby account executive, or contact dunnhumby at: https://www.dunnhumby.com/contact/.
