Competition in a marketplace-the process of rivalry between business enterprises for customers-is a fundamental feature of a flexible and dynamic market economy. In order to respond to demand for better products at lower prices, competing producers, suppliers or service providers are encouraged to innovate, lower their costs by reducing slack and increase productivity. Though, the motivation of economic agents is driven by self-interest, the benefits accrue to the society at large. Competition is beneficial to all, be it the consumers, the businesses and the economy. On the contrary, when there is a lack of competition, whether it is a pricefixing cartel or abuse of market power by a dominant business, both the economy and consumers suffer on a long term. This paper analyses the interface between competition law and consumer law in the theoretical framework.
