Economic concepts related to flipkart


Economics concepts used in flipkart

Economies of scale- As flipkart is producing higher quantity of products so that it can absorb the average cost faster which result in lower cost. This will maximize the profit of the company as the difference between the cost and revenue increases.

Economies of scope- Using internet as the only platform they are reducing their fixed cost as they are using only internet to sell their product so, in short they are using one input to produce variety of outputs.  

Price discrimination by self-selection- Flipkart obeys the practice of progressive procession as it is complex, data-driven method. The goal of progressive pricing is to adjust prices according to the response to the demand in the market for maximizing the profits. In flipkart, we see that the same product will be sold by multiple sellers and the price is different based on the seller which you select while placing an order.

Product differentiation- As flipkart and Amazon are the leaders in this sector. They form a strong brand in the eyes of the consumers. The power of the brands creates barriers for other companies to enter into the market.  

People respond to incentives- They sell goods at low price nearly less than MRP, where in the offline market we need to buy at MRP. So, automatically people respond to the incentives of discounts which is like a reward for the consumers.
