This is in a heading under the 'risk factors' section.
Heading: Prisbild och produktion
Relevant sentence in paragraph: XX levererar produkter och tjänster som på sina respektive marknader i huvudsak är utbytbara mot konkurrenternas erbjudanden. Detta leder till en *prissättning* som är starkt styrd av utbud och eferfrågan.
My question is really: do you think that 'prisbild' is a shortened form of 'prissättning', or could it mean 'an overall idea/picture of prices'?
Opinions appreciated.

market prices
I think Larry's suggestion is good. I offer this a an alternative, to capture the feeling that their prices are outside their control, and subject to the whims of market supply and demand.

Reply: what specific meaning 'prisbild' had.
AFAIK, prisbild does nt have an exact English equivalent. "Prisbildning" is given by Gullberg as "price-detemining factors" so I think prisbild means roughly "the situation with regard to setting prices". You may find that a bit long, so I suggest "market prices" to convey a bit of that flavour - that prices are set by the market, not the company.
