The word Oligopoly is derived from two Greek words – ‘Oligi’ meaning ‘few’ and ‘Polein’ meaning
‘to sell’. Oligopoly is a market structure with a small number of firms, none of which can
keep the others from having significant influence. The concentration ratio measures the
market share of the largest firms. an oligopoly is two or more firms. There is no precise
upper limit to the number of firms in an oligopoly, but the number must be low enough
that the actions of one firm significantly influence the others.

Pricing Strategies
Puma offers a large range of products in the footwear category. There are two main
factors that affect pricing in the shoe industry. They are the level of demand and
competition. Competition in the shoe industry is high and companies invest in
product innovation as well as marketing to maintain demand. Accordingly, they set
the prices of their products. Puma’s pricing strategy is a competitive pricing
strategy. It offers premium-priced products as well as a large range of products
priced more affordably compared to the competitors. This pricing strategy helps
Puma sustain demand and drive sales higher. Compared to the two leading brands
in the shoe industry, Nike and Adidas, Puma prices products more affordably.
However, it still focuses on quality and also offers seasonal discounts on products to
grow its sales. This pricing strategy has proved favorable for Puma which shows in
its revenue graph for the last several years.
