With mainstream supermarkets experiencing slowing growth of 6.9 percent, unit sales are also sluggish, recording a -0.8 percent change between 2011 and 2013. Specialty food stores and natural food stores grew at a more rapid rate: unit sales grew 21.1 percent and 23.2 percent, respectively, according to data from SPINS/Nielsen tracked channels. Does not include private-label sales, PLU items, or sales through Trader Joe's, Walmart, or Whole Foods Market. Data may not equal totals due to rounding. Unit data is only from channels tracked by SPINS/Nielsen. *"Other" comprises eight additional segments that are less significant and not itemized. However, sales are included in the total. Editor's Note: The total size of the U.S. food market and the numbers presented here are different because this product category data does not include PLU items (such as prepared foods, meat, bread, pastries), private label sales, or sales through Trader Joe's, Walmart, and Whole Foods Market. Mintel estimates that total sales can be as much as 40 percent higher when PLU, private-label, and product data from these chain retailers are included.
