shakeouts
Industry consolidation events
Shakeouts are periods of intense competition or economic pressure that force weaker participants out of a market or industry.
After a boom attracts many new entrants, a shakeout eliminates those who can't survive: The dot-com shakeout left only a handful of profitable companies.
The term suggests a violent sorting—shaking a tree to see what falls.
