2- For consumers the benefits can be:

  • Most innovative and technological products and services,
  • Greater corporate responsibility for society ,
  • Increased company reliability.

The drawbacks can be:

The monopoly is a bad market configuration for the consumer, due to the lack of competition in the market, which leads to a production restriction and obliges the consumer to pay the prices established by the monopoly companies, without the consumer having the choice.
