What is a Low-Cost Producer?
A low-cost producer is a company in a specific industry that can produce goods at a lower cost than other producers. That is, the producer has a higher profit margin on the sale of a product than competitors.
This often leads to the producer charging lower prices for products to achieve higher sales that competitors. Being a low-cost producer is a significant strategic advantage.
