But... mergers really do not only make markets less competitive at all!
May mergers of huge companies often have negative impact. Firstly most mergers do not involve multi-billion dollar companies at all, secondly many mergers occur when one company is is trouble, and thirdly good takeovers increase distribution of the smaller companies brand.
Good examples of successful mergers/takeovers like this include:
Halotop bought by Wells Enterprises
Geely buying Volvo
SAIC buying MG
Most acquisitions by Proctor & Gamble
Most acquisitions and mergers in the markup and beauty space.
- throwaway2037 3y agoMost acquisitions by Proctor & Gamble That is quite a broad statement. Can you explain more?
- nl 3y agoIn the FMCG space that P&G is in most of their takeovers improve distribution for the company that is being acquired, and P&G generally seems to prefer to leave the brand and management of the company alone. I'm sure there have been some that haven't been successful, but most that I'm aware of have gone very well.

- nl 3y agoThere hasn't been a significant negative backlash, availability of the products increased, and revenue increased for the acquiring company. The improved availability via better distribution is a win for consumers and the increase in revenue is a win for the company and shareholders.
