This report provides strategic thought leadership on the factors affecting the UK eating out and grocery retail markets due to the coronavirus pandemic and our view on what the market could look like post coronavirus.

Report Details

Use this report to understand how coronavirus has impacted consumer behaviour and arm yourself with the insight you need to inform critical business decisions, in order to maximise the opportunities and tackle the challenges on the horizon.

This report combines intelligence on external factors – including a detailed timeline of events and macro-economic data – with HIM/ MCA Insight consumer and shopper data to understand behaviour pre coronavirus and during peak coronavirus quarantine.

We identify the likely winners and losers and combine this with consumer research regarding future intentions to build possible future scenarios of what post coronavirus/adjusted normality could look like, including implications and recommendations.
