This information is crucial to determine the extent of the influence of Indonesian natural rubber exporters in dominating the global market, which directly determines the direction and structure of the market through market share achievements. This research aims to analyze the competitiveness of Indonesian natural rubber exports in the international market and to analyze the factors that influence the competitiveness of Indonesian natural rubber exports in the international market. The analytical model used in this research is Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) to measure a country's comparative advantage in international trade, and Export Competitiveness Index (ECI) to measure a country's ability to compete in the global export market, particularly regarding market share and the export performance of specific commodities. Export Product Dynamic (EPD) to measure the dynamics of export growth of a product and the market position of the product, and panel data regression model to analyze the factors affecting competitiveness. The data used is secondary data in the form of cross-sectional data from 3 countries: Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as time series data from 2000 to 2023. The results show that Indonesian natural rubber has comparative and competitive advantages, meaning that Indonesian natural rubber is highly competitive in the international market. Based on the research results of the panel data regression analysis, the factors affecting the competitiveness of Indonesian natural rubber exports in the international market are volume and gross domestic product (GDP).
