2018年12月19日,奥驰亚宣布以128亿美元收购Juul Labs,将美国最大的卷烟制造商与美国最大的电子烟公司合并。这项交易目前正受到联邦贸易委员会的质疑。我们考虑了反垄断的影响。我们还考虑人口健康的影响,我们认为这是必不可少的全面分析对消费者的影响。虽然联邦贸易委员会的反垄断调查主要集中在封闭式电子烟系统上,但我们认为,相关市场是更广泛的尼古丁输送产品市场,其中包括所有电子烟产品沿着烟草产品。由于奥驰亚在主要尼古丁输送产品子市场中占有很大的市场份额,并且具有重要的进入壁垒,因此合并可能使奥驰亚在相关市场中占据主导地位。特别是,电子烟子市场的竞争减少,从而可能减少危害较小的卷烟替代品的可用性。
On December 19, 2018, Altria announced an offer of $12.8 billion offer for Juul Labs, combining the largest US cigarette manufacturer with the largest US e-cigarette company. This deal is currently being challenged by the Federal Trade Commission. We consider the antitrust implications. We also consider population health implications, which we argue are essential to a comprehensive analysis of the impact on consumers. Whereas the FTC antitrust investigation has focused on closed vaping systems, we argue that the relevant market is the broader nicotine delivery product market, which includes all vaping products along with tobacco products. With Altria having a large market share in the key nicotine delivery product submarkets and with important entry barriers, the merger potentially places Altria in a dominant position in the relevant market. In particular, competition in the vaping submarket is reduced, thereby likely to reduce the availability of less harmful alternatives to cigarettes.
