MatroZZZ [7]

Explanation:

When the market does not have enough competition, it provides a certain degree of market power to the existing producers. They are able to regulate prices and output.  

It is likely that the suppliers will provide a fewer quantities of goods at a higher price, in order to maximize their profits. The socially optimal level of output will not be produced in the market.
