Perfect competition relates to existence of situation where demand for a product is equal to supply of product and there is equilibrium condition. The elasticity of demand and supply are coherent and the prices are not dependent upon the price variations. Customer are at free will. These are the advantages of perfect competition.

Perfect competition is defined as a situation where there:

Are many small buyers and sellers (firms) each too small to affect the price - the firms are "price-takers".

Is a homogeneous product [all are identical].

Is free entry and exit. This means that firm can join or leave the industry - it is both

allowed and costs nothing.

Is perfect knowledge.

If we take out "perfect knowledge" (which never exists in the real world) and leave the first three assumptions, we get "pure competition". It is less than perfect, but is still very competitive
