However, Oligopolistic market is a market where there are few firms which are 3 or more firms but not more than 20 firms selling identical or differentiated product.. Firms in oligopolistic market are interdependent which implies that the decision of one firm can affect price and this can cause reaction from other firms and then lead to a price war. A price war occurs when each firm continually reduces its own price in order to increase its market share which causes other firms to react reducing their own prices and this will make none of the firms to gain in the end. In order to avoid the price war, each firm in an oligopolistic market has to consider its own impact on price when making production decisions.
