These indicators continue to change in the following years and in 2014 the CR(4) is 64.9% and the HH index measures 0.1700, showing that the sector is less concentrated and more competitive. The review addresses the market characteristics in the oligopoly whether or not it´s concentrated and competitive in Brazil from 1990 to 2014 divided into two periods, the first from 90 to 96 and the second from 97 to 2014.
