Tóm tắt

 The paper aims to identify the structure of export market for Acacia wooden furniture products, simultaneously determine the fundamentals forming the market structure and propose marketing solutions for market development. The inequality index (GINI) and concentration ratio (CR) were used to analyze market structure. GINI coefficients calculated over transaction value of sellers and buyers were 0.63 and 0.60 while the concentration ratios (CR5) were respectively 33.18% and 39.24%. The results reflected the market's situation as monopolistic competition with high concentration level from both sellers and buyers. Large population of sellers and buyers filled the market. However, economic efficiency in terms of scale was a primary barrier creating restriction when entering the market. Market development solutions include: improve capacity on design
  develop standards and brands for wood materials and products
  certification of goods according to international standards and regulations
  restriction towards export of low-pricing products
  sustain existing markets and exploit new markets
  support enterprises to implement the B2C trading model by Vietnamese Furniture associations
  establish a specialized center of information and exhibitions for Vietnam's wooden furniture.
