Click here to purchase the latest detailed Roy Morgan Supermarket Satisfaction Report

The latest Roy Morgan Supermarket Satisfaction Report places Aldi in the top spot as the supermarket with the highest customer satisfaction score, despite showing no change in their September result. The closest of the other major supermarkets was IGA, who also hit a plateau for September. The two biggest supermarket chains Coles  and Woolworth both dropped in this latest survey, on what were promising strong gains starting at the beginning of 2009.

Among Aldi customers, 88.9% were satisfied with the supermarket, followed by IGA (87.4%), Woolworths (85.5%) and Coles (84.8%) for the 6 month’s average to September 09.

Roy Morgan Single Source (Australia): May 2004 - September 2009. Sample: Main grocery buyers in 6 Months to September ‘09 n=7,382. *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:

“The supermarket industry is a heavily contested market, where supermarket cross shopping among customers is rife.  Building confidence and loyalty of customers through satisfaction with their brand is critical. The real challenge for the two majors, Coles and Woolworths, is making consistent gains in overall satisfaction to outperform the other supermarkets, but these recent setbacks have delayed what was looking to be a battle for the top spot in satisfaction.”
