Summary

Large supermarkets and Convenience stores dominate the UK retail market. Supermarkets account for three-fourth of the sales while convenience stores and traditional retailers taking rest of the pie. Convenience markets have been on rise in terms of numbers and the revenue generated, in past few years. As a result of which the traditional retailers are loosing out thus leaving the UK market open for Supermarkets and Convenience stores.

This RNCOS research has found that the competition among the supermarket chains in UK is primarily based upon the prices, which in turn has resulted in the low profit margins for the industry thus affecting its growth. This research study has also found that the dwindling profits of the supermarkets have forced them to look for the other avenues to remain competitive in the market and 'Product' & 'Process' innovation are the areas where the UK retailers have focused their attention.

In fact in the field of the product innovation, the UK supermarkets are the world leaders. Our research has concluded that the implementation of the information technology has helped the Supermarkets in efficient management of inventory, logistics and warehousing thus bringing the overall costs down. Changing socioeconomic trends and consumer behavior has been the key industry driver and this RNCOS research sees a major role played by socio economic patterns in shaping the future of the industry.
