I am providing suggestions for a document which will serve as a business plan. In it, it describes the market the authors are entering as oligopolistic.
This is factually correct but sounds dramatic and out of context for a business plan. However, I can't think of a good, concise synonym.
Basically I need a single or small number of words to describe an industry in which a small number of providers dominate the market without invoking thoughts of anarcho-capitalism or wealthy Russians.
Or maybe I'm just being too sensitive about this? Does it not matter?

Try "controlled by a few players" or "dominated by a few players". They mean the same thing, but they're not so formal, because not from Greek..
