The four firm concentration ratio (CR4) is a measure of market concentration which is calculated by adding the market share of the four largest firms in a given industry. A CR4 number of higher than 50 percent is generally considered to be a concentrated market, with numbers ranging above 75 percent considered to be oligopolistic. In 2017, the United States had two industries where four or fewer firms completely controlled the market, namely Secondary Market Financing and Other Depository Credit Intermediation. Other notable concentrated industries included Tobacco Manufacturing (dominated by Philip Morris International, Altria Group and British American Tobacco) and Aircraft Manufacturing (dominated by Boeing and Airbus).

The three most concentrated industries in the U.S. as of 2017, in terms of the market share controlled by the top four firms in the industry, were information services, transportation and warehousing, and the utilities sector. Despite fears of growing market concentration in the U.S., none of these industries have a market share for their top four firms of greater than 30 percent. Industries which benefit from economies of scale and network effects tend to be the most concentrated in terms of market share, while industries which are more localized such as construction or accommodation and food services come towards the bottom of the list.

The four firm concentration ratio (CR4) measures the market share of the four largest firms in an industry. Between 2002 and 2017, the industry in the United States which experienced the greatest increase in CR4 was Third Party Administration of Insurance and Pension Funds (+64 percent), followed by Taxi Services (+60 percent) and Residential Electrical Lighting Fixture Manufacturing (+40.8 percent). Concentration ratios of 50 percent and above are considered to be uncompetitive or oligopolistic markets.

Using register data, we document that the average German labor market, defined by hires in combinations of 3-digit occupations, requirement levels, and commuting zones, is highly concentrated (HHI=0.257). By EU antitrust thresholds, 56 percent of these labor markets feature moderate or high concentration, covering 9 percent of workers. Concentration remained relatively stable between 2012 and 2023. The labor market delineation strongly affects the measured level of concentration but not its evolution, whereas the choice of the firm size variable has little influence. Concentration differs starkly across occupations and regions, and workers in complex jobs experience the highest levels of concentration.

The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) is a common measure of market concentration, which expresses how competitive a market is by looking at how many firms are able to compete in a given market. The index ranges between zero (perfectly competitive) and 10,000 (full monopoly), with a score of 1,500 to 2,500 considered to be a concentrated market, 2,500 and greater to be a highly concentrated market, and below 1,500 representing a competitive marketplace. HHI is used to judge the impact of mergers and acquisitions on market concentration, with the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission considering a merger transaction which results in a HHI increase of over 200 to need to be investigated for anti-competitive reasons. HHI is an aggregated index which does not account for particularities and complexities of market structure and should therefore be treated as a first approximation of market concentration. Since the late 1980s, the global HHI score has fallen considerably from almost 1600, to less than 450 in 2020.

The high-concentration tea market is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing consumer demand for convenient, flavorful, and functional beverages. The market, estimated at $1.5 billion in 2025, is projected to exhibit a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7% between 2025 and 2033, reaching an estimated value of $2.8 billion by 2033. This expansion is fueled by several key factors. Firstly, the rising popularity of ready-to-drink (RTD) tea, particularly among younger demographics, significantly boosts market demand. Secondly, health-conscious consumers are increasingly drawn to tea's natural antioxidants and perceived health benefits, further driving consumption. Finally, innovation in product formats, flavors, and functional additions (e.g., added vitamins or probiotics) caters to evolving consumer preferences, creating new market opportunities. Key players like Nestle and Dilmah are leveraging these trends, investing in product diversification and expanding their distribution networks to capture market share. However, the market faces certain challenges. Fluctuations in raw material prices (tea leaves) and stringent regulatory requirements regarding food and beverage safety can impact profitability. Furthermore, growing competition from other beverage categories, such as fruit juices and energy drinks, presents a significant challenge for continued high growth. To overcome these hurdles, market participants are focusing on premiumization strategies, offering high-quality, specialized tea concentrates with unique flavor profiles and functional benefits to command higher price points and maintain a competitive edge. Regional variations in consumer preferences and purchasing power will continue to shape market dynamics, with established markets like North America and Europe maintaining significant shares while emerging Asian markets offer significant growth potential.
