 | | Barriers to entry that arise due to geographic considerations (transportation costs) or the spending decisions of the producing firms themselves (advertising, brand names, etc.) are only able to impute some additional costs to firms that want to enter a market. | | | Barriers to entry can be divided into two broad categories, those that completely prevent new firms from entering a market, and those that raise the costs of firms that enter a market. | | | These are somewhat different from other entry barriers in that they come about as a result of spending on the part of a firm already in a market. |

| | However, it achieved and maintained that position by means of its competitive efficiency, in the face of the legal freedom of entry of all other producers, i.e., by achieving and maintaining lower costs of production than potential competitors and by selling at lower prices than its potential competitors required to achieve profitability. | | | Every antitrust decision to prohibit a merger or to force a divestiture is a decision to forcibly exclude from a market or part of a market a firm that would otherwise be in that market. | | | They are the result of the fact that to compete, one must match competitors’ low prices, and that to be able to be profitable at those low prices, one must have low costs of production. |

| | Barriers to Entry - Mises Institute |
| | After all, any economic benefit that increases the market share of a successful firm could be termed a barrier and the greater the benefit the greater a firm's antitrust liability. | | | Legal barriers protect inefficiencies and the profit margins of existing suppliers--which is probably why they exist in the first place. | | | Economies of Scale: Larger outputs (especially in software) may be cheaper to produce and sell than smaller outputs and low costs certainly can be a barrier to the entry of higher cost firms. |

| | The economist Joseph Stigler defined an entry barrier as "A cost of producing (at some or every rate of output) which must be borne by a firm which seeks to enter an industry but is not borne by firms already in the industry" | | | High sunk costs (including exit costs) act as a barrier to entry of new firms (they risk making huge losses if they decide to leave a market). | | | This emphasises the asymmetry in costs between the incumbent firm (already inside the market) and the potential entrant. |

| | Barriers to entry |
| | Capital costs are often a key barrier to entry in manufacturing, telecoms and other industries where the investment that needs to be made in fixed assets by a start-up makes is high relative to the sales and profits those assets will generate. | | | This is partly because the cost of the fixed assets is a sunk cost as far as the existing suppliers are concerned, this means that rather than scaling back their supplies the most profitable course of action will be for them to reduce prices, reducing returns for everybody. | | | Barriers to entry are anything that makes it difficult for a new entrant to break into a market. |
