Supernormal profits due to high barriers to entry. Profits in the long run are determined by the barriers to entry. If there is high barriers to entry, new firms cannot enter the industry easily and hence cannot competed with existing firms for profits. Existing firms would be able to enjoy supernormal profits. On the contrary, weak barriers to entry means that the long run profits would be competed away by new firms entering the industry, hence firms would earn normal profits. Oligopoly market is characterised by high barriers to entry, largely due to non-price competition such as branding, advertising, etc. High barriers could also be due to economies of scale and high fixed cost.
