“It’s been an excellent year for British brands, which have beaten a number of major global names as consumer favourites,” said Fraser McKevitt, head of retail and consumer insight at Kantar Worldpanel.

“All the domestic brands appearing in the top 10 have worked hard to secure their positions in the ranking through targeted new product development and attention-grabbing marketing campaigns. Some of the most successful have been playing to their British strengths. Hovis, for example, has focused on promoting its commitment to using 100% British wheat where possible, and has seen its products bought 8.8% more frequently than last year – the greatest increase in the top 10.”
