Tesco says it is the only one of the major chains to have grown its market share versus pre-pandemic levels over Christmas, claiming it took business from premium grocers.
The UK's biggest retailer said like-for-like sales rose 4.3% in its third quarter to 26 November and were up 7.2% in the six weeks to 7 January.
Grocery rival M&S said its like for like food sales were up by 6.3% on the same basis over the 13 weeks to 31 December. M&S said its clothing & home offering - long a drag on the group's performance - enjoyed its highest market share for seven years with sales up by 8.6%.One big name to reveal Christmas trouble was online fashion retailer ASOS.
It reported a 3% fall in revenue during the four months to the end of December, driven by an 8% plunge in UK sales over the four weeks to Christmas.
