Navigating the Regulatory Landscape: Assessing the Impact of the Eu's Digital Markets Act on Global Antitrust Policies

Abstract This paper examines the profound transformation of antitrust regulation in the digital age, with a focus on the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA). As digital platforms reshape global markets, traditional antitrust frameworks have grown inadequate for addressing new challenges such as network effects, data-driven business models, and transnational digital ecosystems. The study traces the evolution of competition law in the EU, highlighting key reforms including the landmark DMA and related enforcement mechanisms aimed at curbing anti-competitive behaviors of major tech ‘gatekeepers.’ By analyzing the DMA’s provisions, enforcement strategies, and early implementation, this research evaluates its potential as a model for global antitrust policy reform. The paper further discusses the practical implications, limitations, and adaptability of the DMA in non-EU jurisdictions, emphasizing the need for flexible, innovation-friendly, and evidence-based approaches to regulating dynamic digital markets.
