In the long term, every modern business wants to expand their reach to international markets, which would eventually spike their profit and growth graphs. The lucrative scope of doing business in foreign markets are attracting many ventures, big and small, to explore these opportunities. However, while formulating international market entry strategies, chances are that a company might overlook certain barriers that might prove to be fatal for the business.

Monopolies often block the entry of other substitutes or competition in the market by using patents and licenses, controlling distribution routes, resources or suppliers, or by using pricing strategies. If companies entering a new market cannot access an efficient or cost-effective distribution system because incumbent companies have a greater control over the distribution networks, the chances of their goods or services to be successful is highly unlikely.
