Market share & size

The size of a market and the share of this market held by competitors are key to assessing the competitive environment.

There is no single source of market size/market share data.

Market size/share information is usually pieced together from various sources.

 

Sources

  • Business & Industry (RDS)  
    News articles and stories from industry associations.
    **Type a product or competitor's name into the Words and Phrases box and then highlight Market Share and/or Market Size in the Concept menu.
  • Global Market Information Database (GMID)  
    Reports on company and brand share for a range of consumer goods. International coverage.
  • IBISWorld  
    700+ reports on US industries.
    **Look in report chapters on 'Segmentation' & 'Market Characteristics' for market data.
  • Market Insight Industry Surveys  
    Industry surveys and data.
    **Choose an industry from the Industry drop down menu, then open the Sub-Industry Revenue Share link on the left pane.
    NOTE: Works best with IE 6+.
  • Market Share Reporter (Book)  
    Annual compilation of reported market share data on selected companies, products, and services.
    **Use the back-of-book indexes to look up products, services, brands, and companies.
