In this section, we will explore the concept of oligopoly and its key characteristics.
Understanding Oligopoly
- An oligopoly market consists of a few dominant sellers and many buyers.
- Dominant sellers in an oligopoly have the power to influence prices and eliminate competition.
- Oligopolists can leverage their market dominance to set prices that suit them, while other companies must adjust their prices accordingly.
- The barrier to entry in an oligopoly market is high due to the significant investments required, such as system development, infrastructure setup, and advertising.
Case Study - Soft Drink Market
- In Peru, the soft drink market is dominated by Coca-Cola and Pepsi as the two major players.
- The success of Inca Kola prevented Coca-Cola from dominating the Peruvian market until Coca-Cola acquired half of Inca Kola company in 1999.
By understanding these key characteristics of oligopoly markets, we can gain insights into how dominant sellers exert control over pricing and competition.
