VALUE TERMS AND VOLUME TERMS



The standard report generated usually provides data in VALUE terms. This is by far the most popular (as demanded by readers) measure of commercial activity. We can also provide data in VOLUME or UNIT terms and this can be specified when the report is ordered. Obviously some reports do not lend themselves to Volume quantification and thus availability of this data will vary according to the report and the database.

MARKET DATA NOTES

THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT

 

There are four basic issues to investigate when considering the marketing environment for the industry.

   Market Growth
   Market Structure
   Market/s Serviced
   Customer + End User Factors

Market Growth (both short-term and medium term) by each Product and Market Area is fully evaluated in this section, as is the historic market data.

The Market Structure for the industry is very critical for profitability. The nature of the market, the location of the Market-Place, the customer base and the supplier structure is exhaustively covered in this report.

Market/s Serviced is the term used to denote the function between the product/s and services offered by the industry and the particular market sector which the marketing effort reaches. The Market Serviced is the true market for the industry in terms of product/s and services.


THE TRADING AREA

The Market analysis provides data in terms of the operational trading area of the industry. This being the regions, countries or states which form the effective competitive and market environment for the industry. Whether or not a company operates in the various areas covered is immaterial as the effects of the Market-Place exist nonetheless.


BASIS OF MARKET COVERAGE

Reports give coverage of all the Major Products and Markets supplied and serviced by the industry. The reported Target Markets are those which are perceived to be the most important area for the industry in the Medium and Long Term.

In that these reports are conceived as Market & Corporate documents it is felt important to concentrate only on those markets which represent the corner-stones of the industry customer bases and not become involved in any peripheral activities of the industry.

Market coverage is designed to encompass not only the existing markets for the industry, but also areas of market expansion, product segmentation, parallel markets, et al. By the same token the data excludes those market areas or sectors which are unavailable to the industry for whatever technical or commercial reasons.


MARKET NORMS IN THE COUNTRY

Ref:

      NOTES

 

Norms for the product market are shown in this section. This represents the major market sector data for the industry and as such forms the basis of comparison.


Only the most critical factors should be compared with the various scenarios given above as market averages can at best represent an indication and not a specific point of measure.

Reliance on market Norms are often used by analysts in order to support theories and suppositions and these are in turn used for investment scenarios. In fact market Norms or Averages are not tangible as they combine and manipulate data from companies in wide ranging activities and thus much of the data is superficial.

Much of the benefit in the analysis of market Norms is to use the data to provide guide-lines or parameters which can be seen to define and identify the target market sector.

Since these market Norms should be representative of the entire market it is wise to provide an average which encompasses all the major countries in the trade cell.
