The term market structure refers to all the features that may affect the behaviour and performance of the firms in a market (for example, the number of firms in the market or the type of the product that they sell)
Competitiveness of the market refers to the extent to which individual firms have power to influence market prices or the terms on which their product is sold. The less the power an individual firm has to influence the market, in which it sells its product, the more competitive that market is.
