What are possible disadvantages of a perfectly competitive industry or firm?

No scope for economies of Scale, this is because there are many small firms producing relatively small amounts. Industries with high fixed costs would be particularly unsuitable to perfect competition. This is one reason why Perfect Competition is unlikely in the real worldUndifferentiated products is boring giving little choice to consumers. Differentiated products are very important in industries such as clothing and cars.Lack of super-normal profit may make investment in Research & Development unlikely this would be important in an industry such as pharmaceuticals which require significant investmentWith perfect knowledge there is no incentive to develop new technology because it would be shared with other companies.If there are externalities in production or consumption there is likely to be market failure without govt intervention.
