In the case of a dominant supplier like the HIV situation, previously mentioned, the company (GlaxoSmithKline pic) is able to charge a relatively high price for it because of its high concentration of supply. A large number of producers who each compete for customers’ business are at a pricing disadvantage because of the customers’ ability to simply ‘shop around’ for cheaper prices or better service.'
