Solution
The market for toilet soaps in India represents monopolistic competition.
Reason:
- Lux, Dove, Pears, Nivea, Lifebuoy, and more merchants compete in the Indian toilet soap industry, offering various goods. While the core product (toilet soap) serves the same purpose, manufacturers differentiate their soaps through packaging, smell, quality, and marketing tactics.
- This product differentiation, along with a large number of suppliers, is characteristic of monopolistic competition.
