Here are some additional examples of substitutes and complements in different


industries:

1. Fast Food Industry:


- Substitutes: McDonald's and Burger King are substitutes in the fast food industry. If the
price of a Big Mac at McDonald's increases, some consumers may choose to go to Burger
King instead.
- Complements: French fries and soft drinks are complements in the fast food industry.
Many people enjoy having a soft drink with their French fries, so an increase in the price of
soft drinks may decrease the demand for French fries.

2. Mobile Phone Industry:


- Substitutes: Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy smartphones are substitutes in the
mobile phone industry. If the price of the iPhone increases, some consumers may choose to
purchase a Galaxy smartphone instead.
- Complements: Mobile phone cases and screen protectors are complements in the mobile
phone industry. Consumers often purchase cases and screen protectors to protect their
phones, so an increase in the price of mobile phone cases may decrease the demand for
screen protectors.

3. Transportation Industry:
- Substitutes: Air travel and train travel are substitutes in the transportation industry. If the
price of air travel increases significantly, some consumers may opt for train travel instead.
- Complements: Rental cars and hotel accommodations are complements in the
transportation industry. When consumers travel, they often need both a rental car and a
place to stay, so an increase in the price of rental cars may decrease the demand for hotel
accommodations.

4. Streaming Services Industry:


- Substitutes: Netflix and Hulu are substitutes in the streaming services industry. If the
price of Netflix increases, some consumers may choose to switch to Hulu instead.
- Complements: Smart TVs and streaming devices (e.g., Roku, Apple TV) are
complements in the streaming services industry. Consumers often use streaming devices to
access streaming services on their TVs, so an increase in the price of streaming devices
may decrease the demand for streaming services.

5. Clothing Industry:
- Substitutes: Nike and Adidas athletic shoes are substitutes in the clothing industry. If the
price of Nike shoes increases, some consumers may choose to purchase Adidas shoes
instead.
- Complements: Socks and shoes are complements in the clothing industry. Consumers
typically wear socks with shoes, so an increase in the price of socks may decrease the
demand for shoes.

These examples demonstrate how substitutes and complements can vary across different
industries and products. The availability and pricing of substitutes and complements can
significantly influence consumer preferences, purchasing decisions, and market competition.
