A Structural Analysis of the UK Grocery Retail Market
Abstract
Markets are characterised by distinctive patterns of competition, sources of threat or opportunity and, indeed, various levels of profitability. The author considers how significant new entry to grocery retailing is unlikely to be due to sharp competition and increasing rarity of good supermarket/superstore sites. Furthermore, the buyers from the industry, the grocery shoppers, are not so much participants in the power struggles, as weapons in it.
