This paper examines the impact of the recently published Competition Commissionâs findings on the competitiveness of the UK food retail sector within the context of the supply chain. Although the report found little evidence of monopolistic behaviour, the findings indicated both the significance of buyer concentration and the need for voluntary regulation. Recent developments within the competitive environment are examined, along with current research perspectives. This evidence suggests that not only will buyer power continue to concentrate in the hands of the major retail players, but further concentration and consolidation in the food retail sector will take place both within and beyond the home market. The implications of these developments on the supplier are considered in regard to areas for immediate future concern.
