In this case inter-firm rivalry is likely to constrain further individual firms’ control over price. Nevertheless market dominance will be found in a sub-set of those markets where sales are concentrated in few hands. Further enquiry will then be necessary to determine exactly where it is present and where, alternatively, other factors ensure it is absent. For a number of years, the Census authorities in both the UK and the USA have published information on seller concentration for a larger number of products in manufacturing industry.
In order to maximize the number of products for which concentration data could be published, the authorities decided on five as the minimum feasible number to include in the ratio. The US authorities use the four largest sellers. If fewer than five firms sell the product in the UK, the information cannot be published. In some cases which may be particularly relevant to antitrust policy, therefore, the seller concentration data are not available. 1 shows the average level of seller concentration for a sample of 121 manufactured products in the UK over the period 1958 to 1977.

If such firms can retain their position only by maintaining their efficiency, actual and potential competition are still effective and there is no market dominance in the sense defined above. Note, however, that we are using efficiency here to refer not only to technical and X-efficiency but also to allocative efficiency: that is, the alignment of price with cost.
