Fastest growers are often from smaller or mid-size segments, and change from year to year based on trends in the marketplace. For 2011- 2013, the specialty segments that outperformed the total market by the widest margin are Eggs; Frozen Desserts; Nut and Seed Butters; Frozen Fruits and Vegetables; and Refrigerated Condiments. These leaders show how the specialty market is growing throughout the store, with two of the categories in the refrigerated case, two in frozen, and one shelf-stable. Total market is based on Symphony IRI InfoScan Reviews; does not include private- label sales, PLU items, or sales through Trader Joe's, Walmart, or Whole Foods Market.
