Résumé
[en] The process of the relevant market definition is a crucial step in the context of Article 102 TFUE. In order to determine whether or not a firm under scrutiny is in a dominant position, the market defined by the competition authority plays a key role. If done wrongly, it can lead to erroneous dominance findings. In the context of multisided online platforms, such assessment is much more complicated than classical one-sided cases. Due to the existence of several participant groups involved, the question of whether there should be one or multiple relevant markets – which is the first step in the market definition process – is a very complex one and remains to this day, unsolved. This paper suggests determining the number of relevant markets by examining the kind of interactions facilitated by the online platforms and the extent of substitutability of these platforms with other alternatives. This interaction typology approach will therefore allow laying out an adequate economic reality of such platforms in the digital economy and better apprehend the implications at stake.
