Abstract:
 Consolidation and globalization in the supermarket industry extended past mergers and acquisitions during 2003. In the food manufacturing industry, since 2000 sales for the top ten food and beverage manufacturers have grown by 16%. With the supermarket industry, acquisitions were geographically confined, due to declining performance of the major chains, which made so many acquisitions in past years. Evidence of this is A&P’s trimmed store count and Supervalu’s exit from the Denver market. Two companies long on the selling block were removed when no acceptable bids were received: Marks& Spencer’s Kings in NJ and Safeway’s Dominick’s in Chicago.

Growing concentration was obvious elsewhere: Four companies now control 60% of pork production in the US; the two data collection companies in the industry are locked in a lawsuit and no longer report sales from Wal-Mart—a growing factor; competitors in Mexico and Canada are forming buying groups to improve efficiency and there is a backlash against chains in Britain.

Perhaps the single most telling evidence of industry consolidation is the evolution of the FMI Exposition each May. The trade group—which now includes the formerly separate food wholesalers association—is now acting as landlord/host to other trade associations at the May event. Attendance has been steadily declining among both exhibitors and attendees, as remaining larger companies demand headquarters visits.
