Context
The FOSFOMICINA category corresponds to catalog code 26174. Four contracts were registered in this period.
The rule it puts in play
Concentrating a category is not in itself an infringement: it may reflect a market with only one capable supplier. Competition defense law does prohibit agreeing or coordinating offers between competitors, and that is a different conduct that this measurement does not observe.
What is missing to say more
To assess market concentration, it would be necessary to know the total number of suppliers authorized to sell FOSFOMICINA and the number of suppliers who actually participated in the tenders, beyond those who were awarded. It would also be useful to compare this participation with that of previous years.
Who should answer
The Commission for the Promotion and Defense of Competition must answer whether this market concentration is usual or warrants an investigation.
