Oligopsony
An oligopsony is the opposite of an oligopoly.
In an oligopoly a few large suppliers dominate a market, in an oligopsony a few large buyers dominate a market.
A good example are the many media sub-sectors where a few companies (the major media conglomerates) publish records, films and books, but there are many musicians, actors, writers etc. selling to these few companies.
