Market Demand Analysis
 
Analysis of market Demand:
Market and demand analysis is concerned with two
broad issues
What is likely aggregate demand for the product /
service?
What share of the market will the proposed project
enjoy?
 
 
Market Demand Analysis
 
 
Factors to be considered for getting the answers for the above:
Patterns of consumption growth
Income and price elasticity of demand
Composition of the market
Nature of competition
Availability of substitutes
Distribution channels
It establishes whether 
the project
 
is technically feasible
 or
not and whether it offers a basis for the estimation of costs.
 
Steps in market analysis:
 
Situation analysis and specification of
objectives:
Talk to customers, competitors, middlemen and
others
For carrying out market survey spell out the
objectives clearly
Questionnaire can help gathering the information in
a way relevant for forecasting the demand
 
Steps in market analysis:
 
Collection of secondary inputs:
Secondary information is the one which was
gathered in some other context and is available
readily for the present consideration
Primary information is the one, which is collected for
the first time to meet the specific purpose on hand.
Secondary information forms the basis and starting
point for the market and demand analysis.
General sources of secondary information:
 
Steps in market analysis:
 
Collection of secondary inputs:
Censes of India, National sample survey reports, Plan
reports, India year book, Statistical year book,
Economic survey, Guide lines to industries, Annual survey
of industries, Publications of advertising agencies,
Monthly bulletin of RBI, etc.
Annual reports of association of Indian automobile
manufacturers
Journals of industry associations.
The relevance, reliability, accuracy are to be carefully
studied in the information available in the secondary
information.
 
Conduct of market survey:
 
Secondary information may not provide a
comprehensive basis often thus necessitating
gathering primary information through market
survey.
Census survey:
 
Entire population is covered. It is
suitable for intermediate goods, investment goods
- where the number is less.
Sample survey: 
 
A sample of the population is
contacted or observed. Inferences are made on
the basis of the information gathered from the
sample.
 
Conduct of market survey:
 
Sample survey: 
 
Examples
Total demand & rate of growth of the demand,
Demand in different segments of the market,
Income & price elasticity of the demand,
Motives for buying, purchasing plan and intentions,
 Satisfaction with existing goods,
Unsatisfied needs,
Attitudes towards various products,
Distribution trade practices and preferences,
Socio-economic characteristics of buyers
 
Steps in conducting Sample survey:
 
Define the target population
Select the sampling scheme and sample size
Develop the questionnaire
Recruit and train the field investigators
Obtain the information as per questionnaire from the
sample respondents
Scrutinize the information gathered
Analyze and interpret the information
 
 
Companies use market demand analysis to
understand how much consumer demand exists for a
product or service.
This analysis helps management determine if they
can successfully enter a market and generate
enough profits to advance their business operations.
 
Market & Demand Analysis
 
In most cases, the first step in project analysis is to
estimate the potential size of the market for the
product proposed to be manufactured and get an
idea about the market share that is likely to be
captured.
Given the importance of market and demand
analysis, it should be carried out in an orderly and
systematic manner.
 
Market & Demand Analysis
 
The key steps involved in market and demand analysis
are as follows.
Situation Analysis and Specification of Objectives
Collection of Secondary information
Conduct of Market Survey
Characterization of Market
Demand Forecasting
Formulation of the Market Plan
 
What is Market Demand Analysis ?
 
While several methods of demand analysis may be
used, they usually contain a review of the basic
components of an economic market which are:
Market identification
Business cycle
product niche
growth potential
competition
 
Market
 
Identification
 
The first step of market analysis is to define and
identify the 
specific market 
to target with new products
or services.
Companies will use 
market surveys 
or 
consumer
feedback
 to determine their satisfaction with current
products and services.
Comments indicating 
dissatisfaction
 will lead businesses
to develop 
new products 
or services to meet this
consumer demand.
While companies will usually identify markets close to
their current product line, new industries may be tested
for business expansion possibilities.
 
Business Cycle
 
Once a potential market is identified, companies will
assess what stage of the business cycle the market is in.
Three stages exist in the business cycle:
Emerging,
Plateau
Declining.
Markets in the emerging stage indicate higher consumer
demand and low supply of current products or services.
The plateau stage is the break-even level of the
market, where the supply of goods meets current
market demand.
Declining stages indicate lagging consumer demand for
the goods or services supplied by businesses.
 
Product Niche
 
Once markets and business cycles are reviewed,
companies will develop a product that meets a specific
niche
 in the market.
Products must be 
differentiated
 from others in the
market so they meet a specific need of consumer
demand, creating higher demand for their product or
service.
Many companies will conduct tests in sample markets to
determine which of their potential product styles is most
preferred by consumers.
Companies will also develop their goods so that
competitors cannot easily duplicate their product.
 
Growth Potential
 
While every market has an initial level of consumer
demand, specialized products or goods can create
a sense of usefulness, which will increase demand.
Examples of specialized products are iPods or
iPhones, which entered the personal electronics
market and increased demand through their
perceived usefulness by consumers.
This type of demand quickly increases the demand
for current markets, allowing companies to increase
profits through new consumer demand.
 
Competition
 
An important factor of market analysis is determining
the number of competitors and their 
current market
share.
Markets in the 
emerging stage
 of the business cycle
tend to have 
fewer competitors
, meaning a 
higher profit
margin
 may be earned by companies.
Once a market becomes 
saturated
 with competing
companies and products
, fewer profits 
are achieved
and companies will begin to lose money.
As markets enter the 
declining business 
cycle, companies
will conduct a 
new market analysis 
to find more
profitable markets.
 
Market Planning
 
A marketing plan usually has the following components
Current marketing situation
Where is your organisation now?
Who are your customer groups? What are their needs and
requirements? How large and diverse are they?
What kinds of products and services do you currently
provide?
How do you reach your customer groupings?
Do you have any competition?
What factor/s in your environment has an effect on your
organisation?
 
Market Planning
 
Opportunity and issue analysis
 (S.W.O.T. analysis).
This identifies key issues and opportunities for your
organisation and it comprises an analysis of your
internal operations
Strengths
Weaknesses
Also those external factors, which effect your
organisation
Opportunities
Threats
 
Market Planning
 
Objectives
. Having identified the key issues
affecting your organisation you can make some
decisions about future objectives. These guide the
development of strategies and action plans.
Objectives should meet certain criteria e.g. financial,
and marketing which will be customer focused.
They should be clearly stated, measurable and listed in
order of importance
They should be attainable and consistent with your
organisation's culture.
 
Market Planning
 
Marketing strategy
. This is the game plan that needs to be
implemented to achieve the objectives. It addresses the
following:
Whom are you now targeting?
What do you want your position to be in terms of new
product/service delivery?
Do you want to change your organisation profile and will you
need to rebrand your organisation?
Will you change the way you promote and advertise yourself?
Will there be any changes in how you reach your customer
groupings?
Any changes in staff?
Is there a need for more research?
 
Market Planning
 
Action program.
 This describes:What will be done
When will it be done?
Who will do it?
How much will it cost
 
Market Planning
 
Budget and controls
. The Budget is essentially a
cash flow statement and profit/loss statement to
support the marketing plan
Control mechanisms and procedures should be
established to monitor the progress of the plan to
determine if anything needs changing. It would
include a contingency plan in case something
adverse should happen.
 
Demand Forecasting
 
After gathering information about various aspects of
the market and demand from primary and secondary
sources.
An attempt may be made to estimate future demand.
These may classified in three categories as shown
1.
Qualitative Methods
2.
Time series projection Methods
3.
Causal Methods
4.
Jury of executive opinion Method
5.
Chain ratio Method
6.
Consumption level Method
 
Market Characterisation
 
Based on the information gathered from secondary
sources and through the market survey, the market for
the product or service to be offered may be described
in terms of the following:
1.
Effective demand on the past and present
2.
Breakdown of demand
3.
Price
4.
Methods of distribution and sales promotion
5.
Consumers
6.
Supply of competition
7.
Government Policy
 
 
 
Situational analysis & specification
of objectives
 
In order to get a feel of the relationship between
the product and its market, the project analyst may
informally talk to customers’ competitors, middlemen
and other in the industry.
Where and how to market the new product/service
the objectives of the market and demand analysis in
this case may be to answer the questions.
 
Situational analysis & specification
of objectives
 
Who are buyers of the new product/service?
What is the current demand for the new product/service?
How is demand distributed temporally and geographically?
What is the breakup of demand for the new
product/service of different sizes?
What price and warranty will ensure its acceptance?
What channels distribution is most suited for the new
product/service?
What trade margins will induce distributors to carry it?
What are prospects of immediate sales?
