In this study we measure the concentration ratio in the selected industries (Petrochemical، Automobiles، Iron، Glass and Sugar) for the period of 1998-2006. The result show a high degree of concentration which may decline over time as the number of producers increase without ay significant change in the basis of monopoly power.
