Market mapping

Market mapping This section covers the following: What market mapping is Examples of market maps Benefits of market mapping Drawbacks of market mapping

Key words (The) competition Companies operating in your market or market sector Gap in the market An area on a market map where few or no existing brands operate, implying a business opportunity to fill an unmet consumer need Market map Measuring where existing brands sit on a two-factor grid, e.g. young/old compared with high price/low price

What is market mapping? Market mapping is a way of measuring where existing products sit on a two-factor grid. Example: Young/old compared with high price/low price. A market map should consist of the key features of the market on the diagram.

Example market map – Chocolate Key features of the chocolate market could include: Luxury vs everyday chocolate Filling vs light The diagram shows how a market map might look. To gain this information means a lot of market research which is time expensive. From customer opinions and looking at the market map a business like Cadbury might decide to fill the gap for a product on the top left of the diagram. A luxury filling style chocolate appears to have little competition at the moment.

Key factors when market mapping Business often use what they regard as the most important factors to complete a market map: High priced/low priced For young/for old For men/for women Careful market research needs completing to decide on the right factors

Benefits of market mapping Market mapping is a clear way of displaying products in a market and potential gaps to fill It summarises a lot of complex information in an easily accessible diagram. Factors can be adapted for numerous business situations. Market mapping shows where competitor products are positioned in a market compared to the others.

Drawbacks of market mapping Deciding what are the most important factors is very difficult. Market mapping requires a large investment of time and money in market research to provide a reliable market map. The map is only based on two variables so may not give the full picture, Maps can show bias and could lead to wrong and expensive business decisions.
