Tam Bac Market is located in the center of Hai Phong city, with thousands of kiosks selling clothes, fabrics, household items... all of which are flammable. However, the market has not been built solidly yet. Most of the kiosks are covered with temporary corrugated iron roofs. The kiosks are close together, and the road in the market is only 1 meter wide. These are the reasons why the fire spreads quickly, making it difficult to rescue when a fire or explosion occurs.

Currently, Hai Phong city has 158 markets, including 1 wholesale market; 6 grade 1 markets; 16 grade 2 markets; 135 grade 3 markets and temporary markets, attracting 12,362 individual business households, accounting for 23.92% of the total number of individual business households, service and trade businesses in the area. According to the management hierarchy of grade 2 and grade 3 markets approved by the People's Committees of districts. For grade 1 markets, wholesale markets are classified and approved by the City People's Committee.

Currently, most of the markets in Hai Phong city are degraded and makeshift, with no investment solutions or investment attraction to build solidly. Markets with similar locations and infrastructure to Tam Bac market include: Cat Bi market, Ga market,... The most recent market fire took place on October 12, 2021 at Nui Deo market - a place with the same status as Tam Bac market.

Hai Phong is in the process of rapid urbanization. In recent years, Hai Phong has focused many resources on urban beautification, and it is thought that the city should also pay more attention to the infrastructure of the market system in the city./.
