in most cases monopolies tend to result in higher prices and lower quantities of supply in the market, thereby destroying a little of what is known as consumer surplus.

however in one case, the case of a natural monopoly, the presence of a monopoly leads to lower prices and higher quantity supplied because of the immense fixed cost required for the industry (examples are electricity).
