Explanation:

To begin with, an oligopoly is a type of market where a few number of competitors dominate that market.

Secondly, it is huge the number of powers that a market leader has in this type of market, examples of that is the fact that the leader tends to have a great differentation in its product and loyalty from the customers, therefore a big price in the product is no problem for the clients that still buy to that company and therefore obtain a great benefit from that.
