A monopolistic market is a theoretical situation in which only one firm may sell goods and services to the whole population. A completely competitive market, in which an unlimited number of businesses compete, is the polar opposite of a monopolistic market. In a completely monopolistic model, a monopoly business can limit output, raise prices, and reap super-normal profits over time.
Although complete monopoly is uncommon, there are times when firms control a significant percentage of the market, in which case antitrust rules apply.
