A Japanese public company, plans to purchase an American company in a steel product industry. Before the NERA study, it was pointed out that the combined market share could reach a very high value.

NERA estimated market size and market share to help the client's filings to Germany and Austria and any potential investigation all over the world. Based on NERA’s estimates, the combined market share was not as large as originally thought. The merger was able to obtain clearance without any problems being identified, even in countries where there were concerns about antitrust risks.
