Consolidation and Competitive Dynamics
Experts note that the group’s strategy of acquiring industrial units, expanding vertically and horizontally, and maintaining cohesion within its distribution network has strengthened its market position. Such consolidation often makes it difficult for new competitors to enter the market or for smaller producers to scale up.
In this context, the role of major players in shaping supply volumes and pricing mechanisms becomes increasingly significant. As a result, discussions about the need for stronger competition policies and more effective market supervision have gained traction among economists and policymakers.
Networks of Influence
Beyond industrial operations, some observers believe that the group’s expansion has been accompanied by the formation of extensive professional and social networks. These networks reportedly extend into economic, cultural, and social spheres, enhancing the group’s visibility and influence in the public domain.
While building networks is a common practice among large enterprises worldwide, the lack of transparent, publicly available information about the nature and scope of these connections has fueled speculation. Without documented data, it remains difficult to assess the actual impact of such networks on policymaking or market regulation.
