Probably we will shift to about 5 powerhouses over time. The shift to vertical integration is the only option to keep profits somewhere, the way there is a big one, for a lot of player (groups). I doubt many industrial players actually want to move to a citadel given the current risk/reward balance. Citadels will have problems with market fragmentation, trust and disruption - all things business people work hard to avoid. People will pay a premium for the convenience of one-stop shopping at traditional hubs but there is a limit. Some people will leave the profession (and possibly the game), some will raise their price to compensate, some will move to Citadels, some will form groups to avoid as much tax as possible through vertical integration. Obviously, things get worse if CCP raises the tax to the original planned amount. TheSmokingHertog Julia's Interstellar Trade Emperium 435 As a vertically integrated manufacturer, I can absorb the higher taxes better than most but I've noticed a substantial drop in inter-regional trade in the smaller market where I do business - the inter-regional spread simply isn't wide enough to cover the taxes. Bear in mind that this is not a value add tax - the fees apply at every link in the value chain: raw material, components, modules, etc. The original incentive to move markets to Citadels was a 5% brokerage fee and 3% transaction fee on transactions at NPC stations - these were reduced to 3% brokerage and 2% transaction but CCP indicated that they intend raising the fees to the original plan at some point.

Do people think that there will ever be a full cross over from Jita > Perimeter? If so, when? No, and never. I've noticed that there are more and more trades happening outside of the ancestral market home of Jita.
