Market Profiling & Snapshot

How can I understand a new market, or a new segment within an existing market?

Synovate Business Consulting's Market Profiling and Snapshot studies allow organizational decision-makers like you to have a snapshot of unknown markets or new/emerging segments as a first step to determine where potential opportunities lie. Synovate can identify and segment your customers, assess whether the market has potential for your offerings, and estimate their addressable market size. A market profile also takes a comprehensive look at your prospective competition – in terms of both current and likely competitors, and the current competitive game board. External factors like regulations and social, technical, and political challenges are also taken into account, in order to develop a holistic market map.

Market Sizing, Share & Segmentation Analysis

What should be my growth KPIs? Where should my business strategy be focused on – growing market share, increasing penetration, or finding a new niche?

The first step to building a successful market strategy is to measure your market. In order to allocate your sales and marketing resources, and to set KPIs such as sales targets, Synovate Business Consulting can help you understand how large your current market is, and in which areas it's potential lies. Through the identification and in-depth analysis of the various tiers and segments in the market, we can estimate the market growth and measure how far each segment is from saturation. A detailed analysis of the market share commanded by you and your competitors in each of the market segments throws light on your current competitive situation. Armed with insights on which segments represent the largest opportunity, highest profitability, or the least potential competitive resistance, you can get important starting inputs for targeting your growth strategy and optimizing your sales and marketing resources.
