    A Market is a place where agents commonly known as sellers and buyers converge to

    interact with one another, with the aim of determining the price(s) of goods and or
    services that are up for sale or with the purpose of transactions. According to Tucker
    (2017, p.173), market structures can be defined as, A classification system for the key
    traits of a market, including the number of firms, the similarity of the products they sell,
    and the ease of entry into and exit from the market. The market structure is important
    because it affects market outcomes through its impact on the motivations, opportunities,
    and decisions of economic actors participating in the market (Fischer, 1997). The
    competitiveness of the market indicates the extent to which individual firm has the power
    to influence market price or the terms of which its product is sold (Nguyen & Kira,
    2014). The purpose of this essay is to discuss the characteristics of the three main market
    structure types, namely: perfect competition, monopoly, and oligopoly and additionally
    look into how they can affect a particular industry in a market. This is because these types
    have a way of impacting the choice and prices of the markets in which they operate. The
    essay will begin by stating, defining and discussing the characteristics of the types of
    market structure with an example for each and then move on to discuss the market
    structure of a particular industry in a country of choice and how it impacts the choice and
    price of that country.

    A market structure can mostly be determined by how strenuous it is to come into a


    particular market. This difficulty could arise from issues such as government regulations,
    control of essential resources and or inputs, economies of scale, technological superiority,
    or system externalities. Also, a market structure can be established on how uncomplicated
    it is to distinguish between goods and services. These determinants have led to the
    classification of market structures into three main parts, which are: perfect competition,
    monopoly, and oligopoly.
