A: To be a ‘price-maker’, you need to be either a monopoly, or have such a unique or differentiated product/service offering that consumers will pay “your price”. Some of the luxury brand providers come into that category.

 

Companies such as Apple and Microsoft probably qualify.

 

In the Australian context, look for companies that have no competitors. For part of their product range, CSL and Resmed possibly qualify. Sydney Airport (at least for the short term) arguably qualifies.
