Economies of scope refers to the cost advantages that arise when multiple products are produced in the same firm rather than separately. Producing a variety of goods allows companies to make more efficient use of resources like marketing, sales forces, and distribution channels. It also enables cost savings through synergies between products and using byproducts. While economies of scale benefit single-product firms, economies of scope provide advantages for multi-product companies through product diversification and combined scale and scope effects for market-dominant businesses.
