Supermarket Customer Satisfaction


Roy Morgan Single Source (Australia): June 2005 - Nov 2010. Sample: Main grocery buyer. In the 6 Months to October ‘10 n=7,215.*Supermarket Customers refers to those Main Grocery Buyers who nominated that supermarket as the one where they do their main grocery shopping. From July ’09 IGA includes only IGA supermarket customers, whereas it previously included IGA, Festival and IGA Express.


Norman Morris, Industry Communications Director, Roy Morgan Research, says:

“Stronger satisfaction levels from Aldi, and a stable result from IGA in the November report, increases Aldi’s lead with three percentage points now separating these supermarket chains providing Aldi with a competitive advantage.

“Coles performed well in the November results and are now back on par with Woolworths, being two percentage points behind IGA.

“There will no doubt be a long term effect on the availability and price of fresh produce at supermarkets, as well as the short term impact on grocery supply and demand in some areas due to the floods. Satisfaction in supermarket fresh categories such as fresh fruit and veg, or overall satisfaction may also drop as a result.”
