My definition of a synthetic monopoly (henceforth SM) is any small grouping of companies that are capturing the vast majority of economic benefit from a certain business model/product/service, and which collectively have an extremely low likelihood of being disrupted by companies outside of the group (regulation more likely).

ASML - a monopoly.
