Market structure, market concentration, livestock productsAbstract
The market structure of essential livestock products in Peru has undergone significant transformations associated with production growth, changes in demand, and the increasing participation of large firms. In this context, the objective of this study was to analyze the market structure of these products during the 2018–2023 period, with particular emphasis on market concentration and market power. To this end, a descriptive study with a quantitative approach was conducted, based on secondary data from the livestock sector and the analysis of concentration and firm participation indicators. The results revealed sustained growth in production, with greater dynamism observed in poultry meat, pork, and egg production, as well as increasing market concentration in several segments, particularly poultry and eggs, while the beef market maintained a more competitive structure. It is concluded that the Peruvian livestock sector is experiencing a progressive process of business concentration that combines productive efficiency with potential risks for competition and equitable market access.
