Potential competition, a fundamental conception in microeconomics, refers to the possibility of new entrants into a given market. The opposite is a legal monopoly which is a situation where competition is against the law.

CONT

L'analyse de la concurrence potentielle est étroitement liée dans la littérature aux problèmes de déréglementation et de régulation par les seules forces du marché.
