A market described by a large number of firms, homogeneous product, infinite elasticity of demand for an individual firm, and no control over price by firms is termed as perfect competition.
These characteristics are defining features of a perfectly competitive market structure. Firms in perfect competition are price takers because they are so small relative to the market and the product is identical, meaning they cannot influence the market price.
