description Furniture products with significant added value are strategic commodities for the Indonesian economy. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the competitiveness of the Indonesian furniture industry in terms of marketing by making a comparison with Vietnam due to being one of Indonesia's main competitors in the furniture trade for decades.
