competition

competition
Rivalry between suppliers providing goods or services for a market. The consensus of most economic theory is that competition is beneficial for the public, largely because it brings prices down. Governments usually pursue policies aimed at increasing competition in markets, although there may sometimes be a conflict between policies that increase competition and those that promote the national interest.
