Competition refers to a condition in a market in which firms are attempting to increase their profits at the expense of their rivals.
Oligopoly refers to a market that is dominated by a few firms producing differentiated products.
Monopoly refers to a market in which there is only one supplier and no other firms are able to enter. According to the Fair Trading Act, 1973, a Monopoly is defined as any firm (or group of firms acting together) that accounts for 25 per cent or more of the market output of a good or service.
