What is the HHI for a monopoly?

  • Market concentration rises as a market gets nearer to monopoly status (and the lower its competition).
  • For instance, if there was a monopoly in an industry, the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) would be 10,000 and the industry would have a single firm with a 100% market share.

What is the typical cutoff for number of companies when calculating the HHI?

  • A sector with an HHI below 0.15 (or 1,500) is considered to be non-concentrated.
  • The likelihood of anti-competitive effects on mergers and acquisitions between 100 and 1500 points is low, so they probably don't require further investigation.
  • When the HHI is between 0.15 and 0.25 (or 1,500 and 2,500), the concentration is moderate.
