An imperfect market exists where the location of some sellers gives them an advantage over others. In an imperfect market, there are conditions that prevent the market from being efficient, such as barriers to entry, a lack of perfect information, or the presence of market power among buyers or sellers. As a result, the market may not reach an optimal level of output or price, and some market participants may be able to gain an advantage over others. In the case of location-based advantages, sellers in certain areas may be better positioned to attract customers or face lower costs, giving them an advantage over competitors in other areas.
