Detailed explanation-1: -In an oligopoly, there are only a few firms in the market. While there is no clarity about the number of firms, 3-5 dominant firms are considered the norm. So in the case of an oligopoly, the buyers are far greater than the sellers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Oligopoly means few sellers. In an oligopolistic market, each seller supplies a large portion of all the products sold in the marketplace. In addition, because the cost of starting a business in an oligopolistic industry is usually high, the number of firms entering it is low.
Detailed explanation-3: -In a duopoly, two competing businesses control the majority of the market sector for a particular product or service they provide. For example, Coca-Cola and Pepsi represent a duopoly because the two firms control almost the entire market for cola beverages.
