Abstract
The analysis of scientific publications devoted to the concepts of “market power” and “negotiating power of the buyer” is carried out. The evolution of opinions about competitive market conditions, forms of intercompany interactions and anticompetitive behavior is considered. The positions of researchers regarding the influence of the market (negotiating) power of buyers on public welfare and the need to use these categories in competition law and antimonopoly regulation have been studied.
