What is a barrier to entry

1 Answer

4 votes
Barriers to entry are obstacles that make it difficult for a firm to enter the market. The more competitive a market is, the more barriers there are. This means a monopoly will have more barriers than perfect competition. An example could be high costs for development. If you were wanting to enter the airplane market, with a new type of plane, you would need to spend millions just to enter the market.
