54 - Top of the Shops - Top 100 Brands 2026

Daryl is joined in Tinpot Studios by Maev Martin (Editor of Checkout) and Ruth Lloyd Evans (Senior Business Insights Manager at NIQ) to unpack the Checkout Top 100 Brands for 2026. Together, they break down Ireland's latest grocery retail trends, brand performance, and shifting consumer habits, including: Why Coca-Cola holds the top spot for the 22nd consecutive year—and where the real movement is happening further down the rankings, how Gen Z wellness trends and an aging population seeking longer health expectancy are driving demand for functional, convenient, and healthier choices what the rise of weight-loss medications means for calorie intake, nutrient density, and evolving flavour preferences on supermarket shelves.
