"left the market" seems like it.
On the other hand, we don't exactly by the immediate context so maybe preserving the metaphor with "fell out of the race" or some such would work too.

СХОДИТЬ С ДИСТАНЦИИ. СОЙТИ С ДИСТАНЦИИ. Нов. Разг. Переставать участвовать в каком-либо деле, выбывать из числа участников; отходить от дел (из-за усталости, возраста и т. п.). — Начиналась новая эра в истории авиации, да только мне уж сходить было пора с дистанции. Уходя, я подарил молодому лётчику Олегу свой планшет и оставил шкафчик в раздевалке (В. Арсеньев. Свой след в небе).
