Coca-Cola has been named the most popular brand in Ireland once again - but a number of Irish products have risen in the latest rankings from Checkout magazine.
The list (Checkout Top 100 brands) is published annually by the magazine, which is the leading magazine for the grocery retail sector in Ireland, in partnership with NielsenIQ.
Coca-Cola is number one for the 18th straight year.
The drinks giant isn’t the only brand to retain its top-ten position from 2021 – Tayto is holding steady at number two, Avonmore is still our number-five brand, Brennans retains its number-six position, and Jacob’s has maintained its grip on the number-ten spot.
However, there are a couple of notable changes in the top ten itself.
Lucozade rises by one place, to occupy the number-three position in 2022 - replacing Dairy Milk, which drops to fourth.
Red Bull is now up to number eight, with 7UP going the other way to number nine.
"We are seeing some extremely impressive performances in the rankings this year,” says Maev Martin, editor, Checkout.
"Volvic Touch of Fruit makes the biggest leap, climbing by no fewer than 32 places from the number-84 position in 2021, to number 52 in 2022."
Deep River Rock (72, up 26 places), Fanta (58, up 23 places) and Panadol (67, up 30 places) all saw huge jumps as well.
"It is encouraging to see so many Irish brands among this year’s biggest movers, with FULFIL rising up the rankings by 17 places, from number 44 to number 27, O’Donnells climbing by 15 places, from number 64 to number 49, VITHIT moving up by 13 places, from the number-43 position to number 30, and Ballygowan rising by 12 places, from number 24 to number 12," continued Maev Martin.
“Other Irish brands that are continuing to move in the right direction are Brady Family, which improves its ranking by eight places, moving from number 28 in 2021 to number 20 in 2022, Carroll’s of Tullamore, which climbs four places, from number 26 to number 22, Keogh’s Crisps, which makes a nine-place leap up the rankings, from number 70 to number 61, and Fitzgeralds Family Bakery, which rises by eight places, from number 41 to number 33.”
