Stability of the forest and wood processing sector in the Czech republic

Original language description

An industry often consists of one big and dominant company accompanied with several smaller ones. In the economic theory, such an imperfect market structure is called an oligopoly with a dominant company and a competitive fringe. Providing that the dominant company controls 60-80% of the market, it can choose from various possible strategies including monopolising the sector and crushing the competitive fringe using suitably selected selling techniques. Considering the conditions in the Czech Republic, the state enterprise Forests of the Czech Republic, state enterprise (FCR) is often used as an example of such a market structure, the FCR being a dominant company which raises fears that the industry might be monopolised; consequently, it is criticized for the low competitiveness of the wood processing industry and for instability of the sector. The aim of the contribution is to describe the market structure existing in the forestry and wood processing sector. The process of church property restitutions having been almost completed and the change in the structure of the ownership of forests in the Czech Republic having been made, it is possible to hypothesize that there is no risk of monopolisation of the sector; the competitive fringe is strong enough even in case of change in selling techniques - in the sales channels of the dominant company and a significance of the impact of the FCR on the low competitiveness of the wood industry in the Czech Republic can be excluded.
