What is the analysis of the market environment for?

Competition can be characterized as rivalry of market participants for the most favorable conditions for commercial activity. In fact, this is a fight for a potential buyer who will buy the product not from a competitor, but you. Competitive advantage is the metric that distinguishes one company from another.

There are two important rules in assessing the market environment:

1. Knowledge of the potential consumer (target audience) and his values.
2. Analysis of competitors, their advantages and disadvantages.

Some companies abandon the preliminary assessment of the competitive environment, which leads to miscalculations in many marketing decisions. As a result, there is a loss of possible profit and a lack of demand among the consumers.

How is market environment research conducted?

A comprehensive analysis is not possible without a thorough study of the main competitors in a specific industry. There are several basic methods for obtaining valuable information that you need for research:

• consumer surveys (qualitative or quantitative data collection, analysis of opinions about competitors among different categories of the target audience);
• Internet search (company reviews, reviews);
• interviewing experts, which gives an understanding of the competitor's reputation, the quality of its products;
• monitoring of points of sale;
• study of publications of financial indicators.
