How two major retail groups monopolized Hong Kong’s pharmacy business
This is my first project featuring scraping and mapping geographic data.
Like many other business sectors in Hong Kong, monopolistic practices can be found in city's pharmacies. Leading companies like Dairy Farm International and Hutchison Whampoa have dominated the market. This brings significant challenges to competition and consumer welfare.
By presenting an interactive map that highlights the locations of major pharmacy chains, Mannings and Watsons, alongside relevant demographic data, this project serves an excellent opportunity to apply the data scraping skills I've developed in Data & Database class to real-world scenarios, shedding light on the duopoly issue in Hong Kong and providing valuable insights.
