Ikkekonkurrencemæssig

Ikkekonkurrencemæssig is a Danish adjective used to describe something that is not related to or oriented toward competition. The term is formed from ikke meaning “not” and konkurrencemæssig meaning “competitive” or “related to competition.” In use, it characterizes processes, policies, or arrangements where competitive mechanisms are absent or deliberately set aside.

In economics, regulation, and contract drafting, ikkekonkurrencemæssige elements denote non‑competitive features of a system. This can include procurement methods that do not invite open bids, fixed pricing arrangements, or contracts that reduce incentives for suppliers to compete. The term helps distinguish non‑competitive elements from those that are market‑driven or competitive in nature.

The concept is often encountered in policy discussions, regulatory analysis, and academic texts, where analysts aim to assess how non‑competitive features influence efficiency, innovation, or consumer welfare. It is typically contrasted with konkurrencemæssig, which denotes competitive, market‑based approaches.

Because it is a specialized, somewhat informal descriptor, ikkekonkurrencemæssig is most likely to appear in Danish-language regulatory or economic discourse rather than in everyday language. When used, it signals a focus on aspects of a system that do not operate through competitive forces and may prompt considerations of alternative remedies or legal considerations to promote competition.
