Bernstein Says Discounting has already reduced materially: Grocery discounts have fallen by around 400–500 bps over the last 1–2 months.

The “chaotic” dark-store expansion phase is slowing as major players approach the ~1,000 dark-store threshold needed to cover large cities.

Companies are likely to use more tactical discounts—larger-cart incentives and repeat-customer offers—rather than broad customer-acquisition discounts.

The next phase is about sweating existing stores: Instead of adding more dark stores, players need to drive higher volumes and profitability from their existing network.

Focus is shifting from acquisition to retention
