Division of labour may be restricted when the market is small. When there is a small market, the demand for goods and services produced may be low, and the number of workers required to produce them may be small. As a result, the division of labor may not be feasible or profitable for the producers. In such situations, producers may not specialize in a particular task, but instead may need to perform multiple tasks to meet their needs. This can limit the potential gains in efficiency and productivity that can be achieved through division of labor.
