Small businesses are disappearing and are being replaced by large multinational companies. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

Lately, it has been observed that big companies are overpowering the market and
as a result
of that, small businesses are suffering to a large extent. Though there are a few disadvantages like the loss of jobs for people doing small businesses, I think it is better from the perspective of consumers.

supermarkets they get everything under one roof. Earlier people had to buy different products from different
shops
. For example, earlier if I had to buy vegetables
as well as

much less revenue compared to earlier. Even I have seen a few

a lack of customers. So, many people are becoming jobless and they are forced to think of new ways of earning. In conclusion, I would like to mention that, if we consider all aspects,
then
I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. I
also
think that seeing the trend it seems that in future we will have very specific types of small businesses available which are not direct competitors of a big business.
