This document provides an overview of duopoly, which is defined as a market situation where two companies control nearly all of the market for a given product or service. Key points made include: - A duopoly has two firms that have strong price control and create barriers to entry for new competitors. - Advantages can include close competition between the two firms, but disadvantages include the difficulty of new firms entering the market and a potential lack of innovation. - Examples given of duopolies include Boeing and Airbus in passenger airplanes, and Amazon and Apple in e-books.

CONCLUSION

3. MEANING
A situation in which two companies control all or nearly
all of the market for a given product or service. A
Duopoly is the most basic form of oligopoly, which is a
market dominated by a small number of companies. A
Duopoly can have the same impact on the market as a
Monopoly if the two players collude on prices or output.
Collusion results in consumers paying higher prices than
they would in a truly competitive market and is illegal
under U.S. antitrust law.

4. MEANING(CONTINUED)
A duopoly, quite simply, is a situation where
there are just two sellers in a market. A duopoly
can also refer to a situation where a market is
dominated by two sellers. There may be more
than two sellers in the market but the supply of
the product is controlled by just two of them.

5. EXAMPLES
Boeing and Airbus have been called a duopoly for their
command of the large passenger airplane market.
Similarly, Amazon and Apple have been called a
duopoly for their dominance in the e-book
marketplace.

6. FEATURES
TWO FIRMS
STRONG PRICE CONTROL
BARRIERS TO ENTRY

7. ADVANTAGES
CLOSE
COMPETITION
INERACTION

8. DISADVANTAGES
Establishment of New firms is
difficult due to Duopolies.
Lack of new firms means lack of
new products which leads to
Stale in the market.

9. A Duopoly is a business term to describe an
industry which has just two producers in one
market. It is a similar concept to a monopoly,
except a monopoly has only one producer for its
one market. Because of its simplicity, the duopoly
model is the most studied model of oligopoly. It
should be noted that there can be more than
two producers in a duopoly, but the main two will
need to have dominant market share.
