Context
Catalog code 15624 corresponds to wire guides. ENDOVASCULAR MEDICAL SUPPLIERS S.A. is one of the companies that supply the Uruguayan state.
The rule it puts in play
Market concentration in a category is not in itself an infringement: it may reflect a market with only one capable supplier. The 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 whether market concentration in this category constitutes an anti-competitive practice, information on the number of suppliers authorized to sell wire guides and whether significant entry barriers exist would be needed. The current measurement only indicates a supplier's market share in a given period.
Who should answer
The Commission for the Promotion and Defense of Competition must respond whether the observed concentration in the wire guide category by ENDOVASCULAR MEDICAL SUPPLIERS S.A. complies with current regulations.
