A) Market Power

Market power is the ability of a company to determine the market value of a particular product or industry in general.

#Factors influencing market power: –

1. Number of companies in a market for a company to have great market power in the sector in which it operates, the sector should not be very populated.

2. Product Differentiation if a business can offer differentiated products and services that fill a gap in the market, it will gain market power.

3. Pricing Power if a firm offers distinct products and services or has a significant market share, it can, to some extent, price its products and satisfy inelastic customer demand.

4. Mobility factor if a sector offers the same ease of access to inputs as its products or services, the market power of individual firms will not improve.

B) Monopoly:-

Monopolies can be seen as an extreme result of free market capitalism in the sense that, in the absence of restrictions or restrictions, a single firm or group becomes large enough to own all or most of the market. Particular type of product. Or service. In a monopoly, the firm can change the price and quantity of the good or service. In an elastic market, the business will sell a large amount of the good if the price is lower. If the price is high, the business will sell a small amount in an elastic market. Also In a monopoly, a seller produces the entire output of a good or service. The entire market is served by a single company. For practical reasons, the business is the same as the industry. The monopoly decides the price of the good or product sold. The price is set by determining the amount to be requested at the price desired by the company.

Oligopolies exist for three main reasons:

1. Government barriers to entry: the government may limit the number of firms in the market.

2. Economies of scale in production: similar to natural monopoly, but with smaller scale economies that are not large enough to generate a natural monopoly.

3. Advertising campaigns: Breaking into some markets can be difficult without a very large and expensive advertising campaign
