Market structure refers to the organizational characteristics of a market that influence the behavior of firms within it. Various factors such as the number of firms in the market, the degree of product differentiation, entry barriers, and the ability of firms to influence price determine the type of market structure. This essay will classify and explain different market structures, namely perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition, and oligopoly, based on these factors, supported by real-world examples.
