deregulated markets

Deregulated markets are industries where the government no longer controls prices, supply, or competition, allowing private companies to operate freely. In such markets, consumers can choose from multiple providers, fostering competition that can lead to better prices and services. Examples include electricity, telecommunications, and transportation sectors. The primary goal of deregulation is to increase efficiency, innovation, and consumer choice by reducing government oversight, while still maintaining essential regulations to ensure fair and safe practices.
