If tying is not objectively justified by the nature of the products or their commercial usage, such practice may restrict competition. Economic theory suggests that a firm which enjoys () market power in one market (tying market) may, under certain conditions, be able to lever this market position or dominance into another market (tied market), squeeze competitors out of this second market and then raise prices above the competitive level. In a competition analysis perspective, the main negative effect of tying on competition is, therefore, possible () foreclosure on the market of the tied product.
