in 2015 and for much of 2016, Tesco saw decreasing sales before the company managed to stabilize and entered a growth phase towards March 2019. Currently the company manages to hold onto small growth numbers.
A market leader under attack
Tesco’s is the biggest of the so called big four, a group of Supermarkets including Sainsbury’s, Asda and Morrisons that dominate the UK market. Its position as market leader is currently under attack, especially by the German discounters Aldi and Lidl. In April of 2019, a merger, which would have cost the company the number one spot on the British grocery market, of Sainsbury’s and Asda failed.
Tesco in numbers
In 2018, Tesco operates 3,754 stores in the UK. However, the growth in store numbers the company experienced in the early 2010s has stagnated in recent years. In 2018, the company made a revenue of roughly 45 billion British pounds in the UK, approximately four times the revenue that the company makes abroad.
