An Investigation into the Growth and Perception of Ethnic Food at ASDA (2011)

Ethnic Food at ASDA Dissertation – The rapid growth in international trade, tourism, immigration and globalisation has brought the creation of ethnic minority retail enterprises in UK. There is also growing competition among supermarkets these days. Many big supermarkets are dominating UK’s re

tail market. Some of these supermarkets e.g. ASDA, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, M&S are in leading supermarkets. Because of high competition and increasing demand, many new branches of these supermarkets are opening these days, which is fruitful and profitable for the companies but not truly for the small traditional retailers. It has become universal phenomenon that supermarkets are taking place of small retailers. In recent times as UK’s economy is recovering from recession, customers spending power has been affected.

Customers are spending much time at homes; supermarkets offered much more cheap deals to attract customers. This situation raised more competition among supermarkets and there is a race in between them to offer cheaper products than others We will try to find out that how UK’s population is increasing along with world/ethnic food demand, firstly world food is not only need of ethnic communities but also becoming popular among natives, As ‘curry’ is one of the famous dish in UK now.

Till 1970s ethnic communities were unable to find their traditional food but gradually ethnic entrepreneur start introducing ethnic food in retail shops. With the passage of time supermarkets realized its need and develop its World/ethnic food departments. ASDA is one of those upermarkets which have expanded their world/ethnic food department, especially in ethnic majority areas. ASDA is one of the large supermarkets in UK. It is subsidiary of an American company known as Wal-Mart.
