Why some markets are dominated by large firms and others markets by small firms?
There are several different types of markets of firms. They go from a monoply (a firm which has 25% or more share of a market according to UK government) to oligopoly (a few large firms dominating the market) to monopolistic competition (many small firms in the market selling similar goods by differentiated to others by brands etc) and then perfect competition (lots of small firms selling exactly the same goods (carrot farmers etc.). Some are dominated by large firms for different reasons, the main one being a natural monopoly which is where the barriers to entry are very high (high set up costs etc) for example National Rail. It would be very expensive to lay down new railway tracks all around the country etc. Hope that help!
