Moreover, supermarkets are applying various mixes of promotional activities to make customers prefer supermarkets. However, the market is likely to face a slow down during the coming years, owing to the price competition among the major market players, growing maturity of products and consolidation of own-label brands by big supermarkets, which are quickly expanding their operations in the region like Europe and North America.
