Structure of the iron

ore industry
The iron ore industry could be
called an oligopolistic industry
not in the strict sense of the
word though. There are many
players in the iron ore industry.
However, there are major four
playersRIO, BHP, VALE,

bulk of the export market.
Through their supply decisions,
at any given time, they decide
the price and demand being left
to the prevailing market factors.
