MEANING
A situation in which two companies control all or nearly all of the market for a given product or service. A Duopoly is the most basic form of oligopoly, which is a market dominated by a small number of companies. A Duopoly can have the same impact on the market as a Monopoly if the two players collude on prices or output. Collusion results in consumers paying higher prices than they would in a truly competitive market and is illegal under U.S. antitrust law.

Competition depends on quantity of product supplied

REAL WORLD EXAMPLES OF DUOPOLY:
• AIRBUS VERUS BOEING
• Aircraft industry is heavily capital intensive industry with hugh investment in research, development, manufacturing, and marketing technology.
• Competitive Environment• Dominant and ever growing
market• Hugh market demand• Capital intensive • Cut throat competition• Regulated and governed by
various agencies.
Result of Mergers/Integration - Aviation market was not Duopolistic
• 1960, there were only 12 commercial aircraft manufacturersBy 1980, only 3 left: Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and McDonnell DouglasLockheed Martin forced out of market because of the dismal failure of L-1011 Tristar
• By 1996, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas merged togetherAirbus beginning as a European consortium while the American Boeing absorbed its former arch-rival, McDonnell Douglas in a 1997
• Presently only 2 manufacturers of large commercial aircraft (100 seats and above): Boeing and Airbus
Portfolio Diversified– Caters to all sectors and Needs !!!
Net Orders by both Boeing and Airbus since 1991 till present :
Aviation is a well Regulated Market to safeguard consumer safety !!!• Both manufacturers operate in non-
capitalist economies.• High capital cost & Labor intensive• Hugh market demand. Multiple
stakeholders.• Lack of players due to high capability
prowess required.• Security of PAX is subprime. No
compromise is tolerable on same. Norms are established.
• Global exposure.• Based from different Geographies,
governed by local regulation and laws
FAA – FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION
DGCA – DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF CIVIL AVIATIONBCAS – BUREAU OF CIVIL AVIATION SECURITY

Prices, strategies, Innovation and Competition is managed by Producers
Modes of competition and Customer Choices
• Decisions to outsources across globe for components manufacturing and Supplies• • Technology used – range, materials, weight, automation, etc.
• Provisions of Engine Choice – from various makes and models, Green Initiatives, reduce carbon footprint
• Currency and Exchange rates – flexibity to bill in multiple currencies, insurance against fluctuations. Etc.
• Safety Records – majorly governed by regulations and guidelines.
• Pricing competition on discounts. No Ceiling by Government or regulatory bodies.
CONCLUSION
A Duopoly is a business term to describe an industry which has just two producers in one market. It is a similar concept to a monopoly, except a monopoly has only one producer for its one market. Because of its simplicity, the duopoly model is the most studied model of oligopoly. It should be noted that there can be more than two producers in a duopoly, but the main two will need to have dominant market share.
THANK YOU!!!!
