COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION Guidelines for national courts on how to estimate the share of overcharge which was passed on to the indirect purchaser · European Union
(62) If only the purchaser increases its price, its customers might switch to buying from the competitors. If, however, the competitors also raise their prices to some extent, the switch might be less attractive for the customers, so the overall sales of the first purchaser might be reduced less. It should be noted though that if some or all customers respond to a market wide price increase by stopping to buy the product altogether, the volume effect might even be larger than in the single purchaser price increase case.
