市场占有率
市场占有率(Market Share)可帮助企业体了解市场上谁的商品卖的比较多、比较强;或商品在市场如何定位上;营销时要采高姿态或低姿态的策略等。企业通常会委托具公信力的市调公司,针对该商品来广泛列出同质或近似商品。调查方法包括分发问卷、电话访问等。所得的数据量化后,可呈现商品在市场上的占有率。现今的市场占有率大都以『产值』来表示,计算公式为:某产品销售量除以市场上该同型产品总销售量,再换算成百分比。
若将整个市场视为一块圆饼,市场占有率表示商品在这块圆饼上所占的体积。而依其相对于整块圆饼所占的比例,则可找出商品在市场中的位置,也就是定位。根据位置所表现的意义,可指出营销策略的下一步该往哪走。对企业而言,清楚自己和别人的位置,是知己知彼的功夫,也是成功营销的关键。
