It has been published alongside the CMA’s consultation on its annual plan.
It considers specific risks and challenges in:
- online markets and the digital economy
- emerging sectors/business models and high technology
- regulated sectors and infrastructure markets
- public services markets
It looks at factors that may inhibit consumers’ ability to access markets/their decision-making. In addition, whilst not identifying specific risks, it provides a view of markets of potential interest, given their economic significance.
