MARKET POWER: The ability of buyers or sellers to exert influence over the price or quantity of a good, service, or commodity exchanged in a market. Market power largely depends on the number of competitors on each side of the market. If a market has relatively few buyers, but many sellers, then limited competition on the demand-side of the market means buyers tend to have relatively more market power than sellers. The converse occurs if there are many buyers, but relatively few sellers. This is also termed market control.

- Second, the determinant change causes a shift in either the demand or the supply curve.
- Third, the shift in the curve causes market disequilibrium, either a shortage or surplus.
- Fourth, the disequilibrium causes the price to change.
- Fifth, the price change causes a change in quantity demanded and quantity supplied.
- Sixth, changes in quantity demand and supplied cause the market equilibrium to be restored.
