A
"competitive moat" refers to a company's unique advantages or barriers that make it difficult for competitors to replicate its success or undermine its market position. It could mean having exclusive patents or technology, strong customer loyalty, high entry barriers, economies of scale, or any other distinctive qualities that give a company a sustainable competitive edge. Similar to a moat surrounding a castle, the
competitive moat protects the company from rival attacks and allows it to maintain its market share and profitability.
