Amazon Explores Partnership With Waitrose in UK Grocery Market
October 9, 2023
Amazon is reportedly in talks with Waitrose, a prominent UK supermarket chain, hinting at a potential partnership. Waitrose has seen a decline in its market share, dropping from 5.1% to 4.6% since the start of 2020. A collaboration could potentially benefit both companies, allowing Waitrose to expand its market reach via Amazon’s platform and offering Amazon a stronger foothold in the competitive UK grocery sector, where it has struggled to make a significant impact despite its acquisition of Whole Foods Market in the U.S.
