Highlights：

• The impact of the intrinsic growth rate on the monopoly area is greater.

• The platform with the higher growth rate can easily monopolize the market.

• Competitive platforms can maintain a stable and coexisting market structure.

• Even if new platform improves the network externalities, it cannot gain a foothold.
