Industry Concentration Ratio (HI index)

In economics, a concentration ratio is a measure of the total output produced in an industry by a given number of firms in the industry. The concentration ratio indicates whether an industry is comprised of a few large firms or many small firms. Low concentration ratio in an industry would indicate greater competition among the firms in that industry than one with a ratio nearing 100%, which would be evident in an industry characterized by a true monopoly. The Herfindahl index (HI index), another indicator of firm size, has a fair amount of correlation to the concentration ratio.
