  30. Examples for the HH Index First, assume a market with 5 sellers, each of which has a 20% market share Each seller would have a score of 400, and the HH Index would be 2000 Next, assume a market with 10 sellers, each of which has a 10% market share Each seller would have a score of 100, and the HH Index would be 1000 Now assume a market with 20 sellers, each of which has a 5% market share Each seller would have a score of 25, and the HH Index would be 500 35
