E-commerce has changed not merely how consumers shop, but also the range of providers from which consumers can buy products and services. The growth of e-commerce has the potential to increase competition within retail markets, to greatly enhance consumer choice, and to prompt and facilitate innovation in product distribution. However, recent enforcement and advocacy work of a number of competition authorities has showed potential for anti-competitive behaviour to occur within the online environment. Fears regarding potential market segmentation are therefore a notable concern within a number of agencies which have examined the issue of competition within the e-commerce sector. Other questions are also often raised with regards to the market definition in the e-commerce sphere, vertical and horizontal restrictions, unilateral conduct with the internet of things and merger controls.
