Oligopoly Market: An oligopoly market structure is a market where a few firms sell similar but differentiated products. But the special feature is that only a few firms hold the major market share. Oligopoly markets are said to be highly concentrated. They dominate the pricing strategy. They are the market leaders. Others are the followers.
