The primary objective of this study is to find disparities in the commodity product offerings in various financial markets across the world along with their market concentration levels. Identifying the product gaps in commodity-based financial products offered by the worldwide financial exchanges can assist the decision-makers to fill the existing gaps and strategi-cally attain the worldwide competitive market of commodity exchanges for all nations. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, HHI, is used to measure market concentration grouped by geographical regions or exchanges. Our study is conducted for the time period between 2012 and 2016. The disparity analysis indicates a disparity between the various types of com-modity products traded in several exchanges across different geographical regions. Our HHI values reflect a high level of commodity market volume concentration in region-wise analysis and a moderate level of market volume concentration in the exchange-wise analysis.
