Explain a benefit of international trade for UK consumers

International trade means that international firms can enter the UK market. This will increase supply, which in turn lowers prices and increases quantity available. This will lead to an increase in consumer surplus as the price is lower and also leads to an increase in the choice of goods/services available, and therefore consumer welfare is increased.
