What is Market Size Research?
Market size research answers the questions
"How large a market?" and "How large is
the market expected to be in the future?"
The Benefits of Knowing the Size of your
Market
Market size information drives the decision to develop, exit,
or hold one’s position in a certain market segment.
Moreover, market sizing is used as a benchmark for various
marketing activities.
Knowing the current and expected future
market potential helps to:
-
better plan business,
marketing and sales activities
-
better plan
production
-
better plan human
resources
-
make product line and
market decisions
-
adjust competitive
offerings
Market Size Research Methodology
To establish the market value of a product or
service, a top down or bottom approach is used depending the
product situation. Primary information is obtained from
manufacturers, vendors and customers through interviews and /
or surveys.
To forecast the market size in the future,
market drivers and restraints are identified and their impact
quantified with mathematical models.
Research Options
Market sizing research can be performed for a
single product or an entire product line within a single or a
segmented market. Market sizing is most often performed
together with market share research. Market size research
benchmarks marketing efficacy and while market share research
benchmarks marketing and sales efficiency.
