Which of these is correct?
our competitors products
our competitors' products
our competitor's products
I assume one of the last two is correct?

our competitors products (I think).
Meh James' is probably right. In a website term (i'm assuming you're doing it on a website) i'd probably just leave out the grammar on it.

This is what Word says is correct, but I just wanted to double check as sometimes Word doesn't always give the correct spelling/grammar of things!

Actually it depends on whether our competitors refers to one competitor or multiple competitors.
One: our competitor's products
Multiple: our competitors' products

I would of thought, without looking at what other people said it would be last one. I'm not great with grammar, that looks most correct too me though.

Thanks James and everyone else that's posted!

IIRC you only need an apostrophe after the letter s if its already in the word/name i.e James.
So it'll be the last one.
