shakeout
A shakeout is a market or industry situation characterized by the exit or failure of some entities due to increased competition, technological changes, or economic downturn. It often occurs once a product or industry matures, resulting in a few strong entities taking over market share and leaving weaker businesses to fail. It can also refer to a significant transfer of funds between investments, often triggered by changes in the economic environment or stock market volatility.
