Market Size in Entrepreneurship Projects
Market size refers to the total potential revenue, sales, or number of users or customers that a business can capture within a specific market at a particular point in time. It's a crucial metric for entrepreneurs as it helps determine the business's growth potential, the level of competition, and overall market attractiveness.
Identifying Market Size:
At Legacy, when tasked with identifying the market size for your business venture, we follow a structured approach:
- Start with Direct Search: We kick off by conducting a direct search using specific keywords related to market size, such as "market size," "market estimate," "market analysis," and "total addressable market (TAM)." This initial search gives us a broad overview of available data.
- Specify Geography and Year: It's essential to narrow down the search by specifying the geographical region and the relevant year, ensuring that the information is up-to-date and tailored to your business needs.
- Utilize Market Research Databases: We tap into industry-specific market research databases and resources to access precompiled market size data. These databases often contain valuable insights from reliable sources.
- Cross-Verify Data: To ensure the accuracy of the market size, we cross-verify information from multiple credible sources. This step adds credibility to our findings.
- Triangulate Market Size: If we can't find the exact current market size, we use historical data and growth rates (CAGR) to triangulate it. This involves multiplying the previous market size by the CAGR to estimate the current and future market size.
- Calculate Future Market Size: If you need projections for the future market size, we use the most recent CAGR and the current market size to calculate it. This helps you understand your business's growth potential.
