This editable and downloadable PowerPoint covers entry and exit barriers in monopolistic markets.

Entry barriers are basically anything that makes it difficult for new firms to enter a market. Some examples include:

Economies of scale: Established firms may have lower production costs due to their larger size, making it hard for smaller firms to compete.

Product differentiation: If a firm has a unique product or service, it can be hard for new firms to copy it or produce a comparable offering.

High fixed costs: Some industries require significant upfront investment, like research and development or specialized equipment, making it hard for new firms to enter.
