Uddrag
Kähler is in the Heterogeneous market, because the customers have a preference to which brand of ceramics they are buying.

The main reason for the preference is product differentiation because the product and design of each ceramic thing is different from brand to brand.

They are in both business-to-business and business-to-consumer market.
They are in the consumer market when they are selling their products through their web shop, where their customers are consumers who shop with the aim of satisfying their own personal needs.

They are in the business-to-business market when they are selling their products to retailers, who buy with the aim of meeting the company’s objectives.

There are a few large players with strong competition in the ceramic design market in Denmark and therefore it is a differentiated oligopoly.

Their competitive strategy is differentiation strategy because they are offering their unique products to a broad target market.
