The misuse of market power occurs when a company uses its dominant position to engage in practices that harm competition and consumers. Some common forms of misuse include:
Predatory Pricing: Setting prices below cost to drive competitors out of the market. Exclusive Dealing: Forcing suppliers or customers to deal only with the dominant firm. Tying and Bundling: Compelling customers to buy a secondary product along with the primary product. Refusal to Deal: Denying access to essential facilities or products to competitors. Price Discrimination: Charging different prices to different customers without justification.
