When the companies that merge exist in the similar line of business, it refers to horizontal merger. A horizontal merger leads to a fall in the competition in the market.

Merger of Dena Bank, Vijaya Bank and several other small banks with Bank of Baroda is an example of horizontal merger.

A vertical merger can be defined as the merger between two or more corporations that though are involved in the same industry but different supply chain functions.
