Questions and answers about the market and competition analysis 

Here we answer some common questions asked by our clients about conducting a market and competitive analysis:

A market and competition analysis examines a defined target market in a structured and neutral manner using defined evaluation criteria. The market and competition analysis is used for a resilient assessment of strengths, weaknesses as well as opportunities and threats of a company in the market (SWOT analysis), also against the background of the positioning of competitor companies.

With regard to the target market, information on market size, market potential, customer requirements and trends is usually determined. Information on the competition usually relates to key figures (sales, employees, profit), products/services, sales channels used, production locations, strategies, and strengths or weaknesses of the competition.

Market and competition analyses are used, for example, in the development of a Market entry strategy business plan, a Market potential analysis or when founding a new company (business plan for start-ups). Frequently, the neutral consideration of market and competition is also required by capital providers (banks, investors).

The clear delineation of the market(market segmentation) is important for the successful execution of the market and competition analysis. A market study is only as good as the data on which it is based. For this reason, both secondary sources (e.g. statistics, publications by companies in the market, specialist articles) and primary market research methods (e.g. interviews, surveys, panels) are used to prepare reliable market and competition studies.

Depending on the project background, a market and competition analysis can address the following questions:

(1) Current market size/market potential: What is the volume of the market today? What unit numbers and sales volumes does the market currently offer?

(2) Market growth: What future development can be expected in the next few years? What factors are driving market development?

(3) Market segments: Which segments and submarkets have the most attractive potential for market entry?

(4) Competitive situation: How many and which competitors are active in the market?

(5) Main competitors: How do the main competitors work the market (products, sales channels, strategy) and what are their strengths and weaknesses?

(6) Target customers: What are the customer segments? Who are the most important target customers?

(7) Customer requirements: Which requirements are important for market development?

(8) Trends: What trends and new developments are influencing the market?

A reliable market and competition analysis uses a variety of sources to determine a neutral and complete picture of the target market. Central sources are, for example, market studies and statistics, search engines, specialized trade journals on the target industry, information in the environment of trade fairs and industry events, data from industry associations, international company databases, annual report databases or analyst reports .

In complex and innovative markets, supplementary structured expert discussions are a helpful way to gain a solid assessment of opportunities and risks.

If experienced employees and sufficient time are available in the company's own team, a market and competition analysis can in principle also be carried out by the company's own staff. Especially when it comes to important decisions of strategic relevance for the company or high investment volumes associated with the issue under investigation, cooperation with specialized market research companies or consulting firms such as MEYER INDUSTRY RESEARCH is recommended.
