 Market Concentration - Economics Dictionary of Arguments
 
Market concentration: Market concentration in economics refers to the extent to which a small number of firms dominate total sales, production, or capacity in a market. High concentration suggests less competition and potential market power, while low concentration indicates a more competitive environment. It is often measured using indicators like the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) or concentration ratios.
