Why is my frying pan convex?

Bought a new non-stick frying pan recently. Unlike my old one (which had lost part of its coating) the surface is slightly raised in the centre and when I put oil in it, it forms a ring, limiting the frying area. It’s not pronounced enough to be visible but the oil certainly sees it.
