M&S food sales show resilience despite cyberattack, says NielsenIQ
HighlightsBritish retailer Marks and Spencer's food business experienced a 10.8 percent increase in food sales over the 12 weeks to May 17 year-on-year, despite challenges from a recent cyberattack. The cyberattack led to the suspension of online clothing orders and affected food availability, contributing to an estimated loss of 300 million pounds in operating profit for Marks and Spencer. Marks and Spencer's market share in the UK grocery sector rose to 3.8 percent, although its sales growth slowed compared to previous reports. British retailer Marks & Spencer 's food business saw food sales increase 10.8 per cent over the 12 weeks to May 17 year-on-year despite the fallout from a cyberattack last month denting availability, industry data showed on Thursday. Researcher NielsenIQ said M&S' share of the UK grocery market rose 20 basis points to 3.8 per cent in the period year-on-year. M&S' sales growth did, however, slow from 14.7 per cent in NielsenIQ's previous report. As part of its management of the cyberattack, M&S stopped taking online clothing orders and also took other systems offline. That hit food availability and also resulted in higher waste and logistics costs. Last week M&S said the attack would cost it about 300 million pounds (USD 404 million) in lost operating profit, with disruption to online services lasting probably until July. Most of NIQ's data broadly echoed the findings of rival researcher Kantar's report on Wednesday, with robust sales growth from discounters Aldi and Lidl, market leader Tesco, number two Sainsbury 's and online supermarket Ocado. However, M&S is not fully included in Kantar's market share data set.

NIQ Report Reveals 2025 Global Health & Wellness Trends
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NielsenIQ (NIQ) today launched its Global State of Health & Wellness 2025: Navigating the shift from health trends to lifestyle choices, the first report of its kind for NIQ to examine emerging consumer behaviors around health and wellness. The findings include regional deep dives in 19 countries, focusing on the critical topics of trust and influence, nutrition, weight loss, mental wellness, health technology, and conscious buying within health and wellness. Consumers are ready to invest in their well-being but need guidance. Companies must ensure their products are accessible, transparently labeled, and competitively priced to win consumer loyalty. Share According to NIQ, consumers are increasingly making choices for their future health— 70% of global consumers believe they are proactive in managing their health and 57% now prioritize 'aging well' more than they did five years ago. As a result, 55% of consumers are willing to spend over $100 a month on better nutrition, self-care, physical and mental health, and more. However, consumers are growing increasingly skeptical about health claims. Globally, 82% say labels on health and wellness products need to be more transparent and easier to understand, and 25% say that their lack of trust that wellness products or services will be effective is stopping them making healthier life choices. 'To thrive in the evolving wellness market, brands must go beyond product innovation to deliver clarity, transparency, affordability, and trust,' said Marta Cyhan-Bowles, Chief Communications Officer & Head of Global Marketing COE. 'Consumers are ready to invest in their well-being but need guidance. Companies must ensure their products are accessible, transparently labeled, and competitively priced to win consumer loyalty.' Top Consumer Trends in Health and Wellness in 2025 To capture shifting consumer preferences and what it means to live well, manufacturers and retailers must connect with today's holistically minded and better-informed consumers in ways that focus on their priorities. Nutrition and gut health are driving healthy food and beverage choices: Half (53%) of the consumers across 19 surveyed countries say they plan to buy more high-fiber foods in 2025, while around 40% plan to buy more superfoods, high-protein plant-based foods, or probiotic foods. Anti-obesity medications (AOMs) are transforming weight loss management: More than half (54%) of consumers place more importance on healthy body weight, shape, and muscle tone now than they did five years ago. Four in 10 (43%) would consider taking AOMs if recommended by their healthcare provider, but 63% globally are not familiar with the medications. Health-related technology is a growth area in the global Consumer Tech & Durables market: Three-quarters (74%) of consumers would prefer a tech product with extra health and wellness features over one without. Nearly two-thirds (63%) believe that health-focused technology products are effective in helping to improve their health and wellness, and 57% say they would use an app or screening device that ensures the products they purchase align with their personal health priorities. Consumers are focusing on self-care and wellness: Nearly two-thirds (63%) of consumers prioritize getting quality sleep and looking after their mental health more than they did five years ago. They also plan to do more activities like spending time in nature (60%), massage and muscle relaxation (40%), yoga and meditation (35%), or aromatherapy (24%). Conscious buying—the global demand for socially responsible products is on the rise: Personal well-being and societal responsibility are becoming increasingly interlinked in consumers' outlooks. In fact, 70% of surveyed consumers say they believe it's 'important' or 'very important' that the health and wellness products they buy are also eco-friendly and/or ethically produced (e.g., fair trade, cruelty-free, higher animal welfare), and 71% are willing to pay more for wellness products with these attributes. Key Takeaways for Brands Manufacturers and retailers must address consumers' ongoing core concerns around the cost and availability of healthier options—and their desire for authentic, clear, and detailed product information. Brands can additionally win loyalty with core segments, along with premiumization potential, by ensuring that their full product portfolio has a wellness focus, as well as being ethically sourced, environmentally responsible, and socially aware. About the Global State of Health & Wellness 2025 Report This flagship report focuses on global forces that are shaping consumers' developing needs and findings around consumers' health and wellness awareness, aspirations, motivations, barriers, and future buying intentions.
