Principal Emmanuel Frot Joins Panel on Defining Relevant Markets at 2024 Lear Competition Festival
Analysis Group Principal Emmanuel Frot participated in the panel “Defining Relevant Markets: New Approaches and Practical Implications” at the 2024 Lear Competition Festival. The discussion focused on the European Commission’s updated guidelines on market definition and recent case law. Dr. Frot examined the growing focus on non-price factors such as quality, innovation, and sustainability, as well as the challenges that arise when assessing competition in markets where price is no longer the dominant factor. He also joined his co-panelists in discussing related topics, including how the luxury goods market challenges traditional approaches to market definition. Dr. Frot was joined by moderator Antoine Labaeye (Fréget Glaser & Associés) and co-panelists Liliana Eskenazi (Fréget Glaser & Associés) and Amélie Lavenir (LVMH).
