Industries where there's very few players tend to have more pricing power and stability. For example, well-known oligopolies include:
- Enterprise server: Google, Amazon, Microsoft.
- Search: Google
- Consumer Home Improvement: Home Depot, Lowes
Recently I've learned of a few more areas such as:
- Industrial gas: Linde, Air Products
- Science & Medical research equipment: Thermal Fisher
- Garbage: Waste Management
What are some industries you know about where just a handful of companies basically run the market? Preferably ones that's not commonly discussed.
