Insofar as 'global trade' results in homogenization, yes. Insofar as it does not, it's quite bad. I prefer a country having its own coffee chains, if it has to have coffee chains, than seeing Starbuck's everywhere. Or McDonald's.
It's a fine line, but I think we have too much of it right now, and this may push it in the right direction - though not all the way, as that is also bad.
