A barrier to entry is an obstacle that prevents companies from operating in a particular market. This can be for technological, legal, financial, competitive or regulatory reasons. Some examples of barriers to entry are high entry fees, high investment requirements, high tariffs, strict regulations, patents and licenses, network effects, and brand recognition.
