Selon l'enquête menée par la Commission, la concentration permettrait aux parties d'obtenir une part de marché combinée d'environ [15-30 %] (Veba: [0-10 %], Degussa: environ [15-25 %]). Röhm Haas domine incontestablement ce marché avec une part de marché de [55-70 %]. Le seul autre concurrent détenant une part de marché supérieure à 10 % est Kaneka (environ [10-15%]). La concentration n'entraînera donc pas la création d'une position dominante des parties.
According to the Commission's enquiries, the parties will have a joint market share of about [15 to 30] % after the merger (Veba [0 to 10] %, Degussa ca. [15 to 25] %. The clear market leader is Rohm Haas, with a market share of [55 to 70] %. The only other competitor with a market share of over 10 % is Kaneka (about [10 to 15] %. Thus the concentration would not confer a dominant position on the parties. In view of the fact that market structure would be changed very little, there is no reason to expect that the concentration would create or strengthen a dominant position held jointly by the parties and Rohm Haas.
