Asda or Morrisons could vanish within a decade
Original: Supermarket shake-up: why Asda or Morrisons could vanish within a decade https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/oct/0
A Guardian analysis argues that Britain's supermarket sector faces such intense pressure that one of the big mid-tier chains, Asda or Morrisons, could disappear within ten years, potentially through a merger. The piece points to fierce price competition with market leaders Tesco and Sainsbury's, plus the rise of discounters, as forces squeezing the weaker players and making consolidation increasingly likely.
Why now: Concerns about competition, job losses and higher prices in UK grocery retail are drawing attention to the prospect of a major merger or collapse.
