Butchers in Ireland Industry Data and Analysis
The butchers market is highly fragmented, with most companies operating on a small scale serving a local market. Competition from supermarkets due to their lower prices and the convenience of completing all grocery shopping in one go remains a big obstacle for butchers. Over the five years through 2024, butcher revenue is anticipated to fall at a compound annual rate of 1.4% to €425.7 million, although revenue is set to swell by 2% in 2024 as the cost-of-living crisis begins to fade.
