Selected

pressing ahead and squeezing out/driving out/elbowing out/narrowing/pushing out competition

OR:

pressing ahead while squeezing out/driving out/elbowing out/narrowing/pushing out/taking out competition

AND SOME MORE:

cutting the ground from under competition / take the wind out of their sails / pressing them hard

BTW, I see “competition” used a lot more often than “competitors” in similar contexts.

Having a bit more context could be helpful, though…
