A competition assessment should analyse the strength of competition in the relevant

market/s, and should identify any factors impeding more effective competition. Key
issues are:
(i) the structure of the market,
(ii) entry barriers and
(iii) anti-competitive conduct.
Where competition is found to be limited, an estimate should be made of the likely
extent of the harm that results from this. An assessment should conclude with a
view on whether there are competition problems in the sector that require
correction, and if so, what the most appropriate remedies are.

Questions to be asked

 Are there any indications of concern by or firms, about the prices or availability
of the sector’s products, or of access to supplies?

 Are barriers to entry or expansion by prospective new suppliers high?

 Are there high barriers preventing firms from carrying out business in a
particular way?

do they show? More importantly, what skills is the competition hiring? If a
company is hiring experts in artificial intelligence, it tells the competition quite a
bit about the plans for the future.
