Market domination

Market dominance is the control of a economic market by a firm.^[1] A dominant firm possesses the power to affect competition^[2] and influence market price.^[3] A firms' dominance is a measure of the power of a brand, product, service, or firm, relative to competitive offerings, whereby a dominant firm can behave independent of their competitors or consumers,^[4] and without concern for resource allocation.^[5] Dominant positioning is both a legal concept and an economic concept and the distinction between the two is important when determining whether a firm's market position is dominant.

Abuse of market dominance is an anti-competitive practice, however dominance itself is legal.
